The Parka-less Hood
When I was a kid I had this wonderful warm parka with a fur lined hood. The hood was always my favorite part because it somehow made me feel mysterious and badass as well as keeping me warm. These days I am sporting an equally warm and significantly more stylish winter coat, but missing that hood has inspired me to create the Parka-less hood. And the beauty of this hood is that it can be worn with any coat! This pattern is very simple and can be easily altered to be longer or shorter, use different stitches or just add on to make your own. I had made one in a cream color and added a dozen rows of single crochets (following the FL/BL scheme and skipping the fur row). I then folded the extra rows back (RS to RS) tacked it down every 6 or 8 stitches and added a couple of large wooden buttons to one side. Fortunately for me that one sold quickly, though not so fortunate for this blog posting because I didn't get a chance to take a picture! So feel free to play around with
