Child's Hooded Cowl Pattern

Hook: N
Yarn: 1 skein Homespun Lions Brand (I used Baroque)

ch 50. join with slip stitch to form a large loop. be careful not to twist the chain.
1. ch 2. dc in each chain around. join with slip stitch to top of ch 2. (50)
2-5. ch 2. dc in each dc. (50)
6. ch 2. dc in next 33 dc. turn. (33)
7-16. ch 2. skip first dc, dc in each remaining dc, 1dc in the ch 2 space at the end of each row. turn. (33)

Now you will twist your work to edge around the face.

To edge around the face part you will follow the direction of the arrows, starting with the dot on the upper left.

17.  ch 2. dc down the one side (22 dc), dc across the front (17 dc), and dc up the other side (22 dc). turn. (61 dc)
18. ch 1. 1sc in each dc around the face. (61sc) fasten off and leave a long tail (at least 18 inches).

Place the corners together (indicated by the arrows above) and then sew the top together.

Line up the top of the hood (using the picture above as an illustration, take the 2 corners where the arrows are pointing and put them together). Then, using the long tail, sew the top together. Ties off and weave in the end.

Embellish as you see fit! I am making another one with little ears on the top for a friend's son (ear pattern to come soon). I am also making one in gray with the edging around the face and the bottom in purple.
