Square Hood
===========

.. 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 (
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. Add 2-4 cm for a hemming allowance, this
will be the basic width.
Cut one rectangle as wide as the basic width and four times as long, and
two squares with a side of the basic width.
Instructions
------------
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.
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.
Starting from the bottom whipstitch first the second leg of the square
to the long piece
and then continue sewing up the back seam of the hood.
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.
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.
