+Hood Scarf
+==========
+
+.. figure:: hood_scarf_front.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+.. only:: html
+
+   .. contents::
+
+For all of your post-apocalyptic (or cosplaying) needs, a pattern for a
+very simple hood-scarf.
+
+This is a zero-waste pattern, resulting in a square hood.
+
+It is a quick and easy project, suitable for handsewing even with the
+limited kit you've been able to grab just before the Fall of
+Civilization (finding the materials is left as an exercise to the
+reader), but can also be mostly machine sewn.
+
+Materials
+---------
+
+Fabric
+^^^^^^
+
+* 70 - 80 cm of a light to mid weight fabric; wool, silk or linen are
+  good choices, on a scale from cold to warm weather.
+
+Two scarves of the same size, at least 30 cm wide and 120 cm long can
+also be used: in this case there won't be a need to hem the long edges.
+
+Notions
+^^^^^^^
+
+* Sewing thread to match the fabric;
+* optional: thicker thread to make a thread bar.
+
+Pattern
+-------
+
+Measure around your head, at the height of the forehead, and around the
+face from the top of the head to the chin; take the biggest measurement
+and divide it by two: this is the *minimum* width of the scarf, if you
+want a deeper hood add maybe a cm or two. This will probably be
+somewhere between 30 and 35 cm.
+
+Cut two rectangles of fabric as high as the measurement above plus 2-4
+cm for hemming allowance and using the full width of the fabric,
+keeping the selvedges.
+
+Instructions
+------------
+
+.. figure:: 0101-top_seam.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Put the two pieces right sides together and sew one short edge with a
+running backstitch (by hand) or by machine. Press open.
+
+.. tip::
+
+   .. figure:: 0102-curved_seam.jpg
+      :align: center
+
+   Optionally you may want to curve down the seam a little towards the
+   back to avoid a sharp point.
+
+.. figure:: 0103-hemming_sides.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Hem the long sides: fold them down twice towards the wrong sides, sew
+with a hemstitch by hand or topstitch by machine.
+
+.. figure:: 0104-whipstitching_back.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Fold the scarf in half, right sides together; starting from the top
+measure the width of the scarf and whipstitch the back seam for that
+length.
+
+.. tip::
+
+   This last seam is easier to do by hand; if you want to use a machine
+   you may want to lay the two halves side by side and topstitch with a
+   zig-zag stitch, but the area near the top seam will be quite fussy.
+
+.. tip::
+
+   Before finishing this last seam with a knot check the hood for fit,
+   and if necessary adapt its length.
+
+.. figure:: 0105-thread_bar.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Optional but recommended: a short distance from the end of the back
+seam, make a thread bar between the two free sides to reinforce the weak
+point at the end of the seam.

+
+   The scarf worn as in the opening picture, seen from the back.
+
+.. figure:: masked_hood_front.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+   To keep the scarf wrapped around the face like this I've used two pins at
+   around cheek height and one around shoulder height on my left (right
+   side of the picture).

+Square Hood
+===========
+
+.. figure:: square_hood_front.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+.. only:: html
+
+   .. contents::
+
+This hood is vaguely inspired by the Skjoldehamn Hood, in that the
+finished object has a vaguely similar shape, but uses a completely
+different construction method and pattern, suitable for very narrow
+fabric (e.g. one handwoven on a narrow loom).
+
+The construction isn't historically accurate for any specific time
+period, but uses hand stitches widely uses through history.
+It is based on hemming all panels and then whipstitching them together:
+if you don't care about visible machine stitches you may do the hemming
+by machine, but then the assembly is just easier by hand.
+
+It is also a low-waste project that only uses squares and rectangles,
+and thus can be done with relatively little fabric (for the amount of
+coverage) and few tools.
+
+Materials
+---------
+
+Fabric
+^^^^^^
+
+* 70 - 80 cm of light to mid weight fabric such as wool or linen.
+
+Notions
+^^^^^^^
+
+* Matching sewing thread.
+
+Pattern
+-------
+
+Measure around your head, at the height of the forehead, and around the
+face from the top of the head to the chin; take the biggest measurement
+and divide it by two: this is the *minimum* width of the panels, if you
+want a deeper hood add maybe a cm or two. This will probably be
+somewhere between 30 and 35 cm. This will be the basic width.
+
+
+Cut one rectangle as wide as the basic width and four times as long,
+plus 1-2 cm for a hemming allowance on all sides where you don't have an
+usable selvedge, and two squares with a side of the basic width, plus
+the same allowance.
+
+Instructions
+------------
+
+.. figure:: 0101-hemming_edges.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Hem all edges: fold down the raw edges twice towards the wrong side,
+mitering the corners, and either hemstitch down or topstitch with a
+running stitch.
+
+.. tip::
+
+   If your fabric has plain selvedges, like those created by historical
+   looms, you can avoid finishing that side and use it as-is.
+
+.. tip::
+
+   When using heavier fabric that does not fray, like fulled wool, you
+   can fold it just once towards the wrong side instead of twice, for
+   less bulk.
+
+.. figure:: 0102-first_gore_seam.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Put one of the squares on one end of the long piece, right sides
+together, whipstitch one edge of the square to the long edge of the long
+piece, starting from the bottom of the hood and going up.
+
+Fold the long piece in half, right sides together, fold the square in
+half on the diagonal, wrong sides together, and put it into the long
+piece in such a way as to form a gore.
+
+.. figure:: 0104-second_gore_seam.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Starting from the bottom whipstitch first the second leg of the square
+to the long piece
+
+.. figure:: 0105-back_seam.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+and then continue sewing up the back seam of the hood.
+
+.. figure:: 0106-first_front_gore_seam.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Repeat with the front gore: put the other square on the other end of the
+long piece, right sides together, and whipstitch starting from the hood
+and going up.
+
+.. figure:: 0107-second_front_gore_seam.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+Then fold the gore on the diagonal, insert it into the hood as before,
+and whipstitch starting from the bottom, this time stopping just above
+the the point of the square to leave an opening for the face.
