Square Hood
===========
.. figure:: square_hood.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 (
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.
