Free Double Ribbed Crochet Hood Pattern

A Hidden Gem Pattern

I swapped the recommended yarn for Caron's Latte Cakes in Coconut Cream, as it is also plied with eyelash fibres. Although not as fluffy as the original, it is still quite pretty. The pattern itself is relatively simple in terms of construction (4 row repeats) but does require lots of counting. Marking where your round starts is essential for maintaining stitch count. I did do more rows on the hood portion before decreasing / shaping to achieve a more slouchy hood while also accommodating the recipient's curly hair. A great gift for someone who finds scarves to be a hassle, doesn't want hat hair, and that likes to keep their ears warm!

Not for the weak!

This is my second time making this hood. I will admit that I struggled the first time and understand the other 1-star reviews. This project shouldn't be labeled easy, as you will need some determination to get through, but it's worth the effort. I am a relatively new crocheter, as I've only been doing it consistently for over two years. But if you stick to it, you will get an excellent hood!

I agree with the first review. The pattern seems to stop at the hood, switch hing from rounds to rows and not providing enough info to continue so I scrapped it too.

• Thank you for your feedback regarding the Caron Double Ribbed Crochet Hood. The Hood is worked from bottom up in one piece beg in round and then continued flat in rows. For ease of making up, we have labeled the Cowl and the Hood sections separately to indicate this transition. Is there a particular portion which you had difficulty? We would appreciate further information so we can take it into consideration with designs moving forward. Also, if you’re interested, we would love to offer you assistance so you can successfully make this project. We are always happy to help! Thanks again for your feedback. We look forward to your response.

Horrible pattern

I stopped using patterns from this website because they are horribly written. Thought this was a cute hood and bought this yarn and tried again. Big waste of time. First, this yarn is poorly matched to the stitches required in this pattern. The yarn is fuzzy and it frats too much. But once you finish the cowl section of the pattern, that's where the pattern stops making any sense. There is nothing clear about starting the hood section, switching from rounds to rows. Nothing about starting a chain for hood section. I'm an advanced crocheter....there are MANY better patterns out there. Check Ravelry!

Would appreciate yarn information attached to this pattern, I'm not familiar with this offering from Caron, and I can't find it in our local JoAnnes. The grey is "meh" but I like the color gradiation and am interested in the other color combinations.

the instructions seem to be missing the construction part. once we're done, how do we seam the drawstring casing?
