[@VidetteMayerInternational]

Thank you for this! I am a SUPER-beginner crocheter and loved this design. I decided to be brave and go for it. Your instruction made it really easy to follow and execute. My end result was a little wonky as I used a bigger bulk yarn and wasn't consistent with the tension of each stitch. Total beginner's learning curve, but considering how well it turned out as my first completed crochet project, speaks to the clarity of this video. Thank you!

[@DivingDucksCrochet]

Thank you so much ❤️😊

[@savinabees9220]

nice job!!!❤

[@MrLiteheart]

I've actually made this and followed you tutorial. I sold it for $10.00!

[@BX_QUEEN_19]

I’m scared to try it lol. But I may go for it over the Christmas break! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

[@savinabees9220]

@BX_QUEEN_19 go for it!!!! use the merino wool suggested and try and use firm tension...its on the bigger size...which is how it's meant to fit. It's lovely and really easy following along with the instructions! Much luck to you 🫶

[@ryuudrazyl5330]

Size and type of yarn make a huge difference in the measurements. I just finished this and I had to add several more rows to the hood before I could even consider closing the top. My yarn is Loops&Threads impeccable acrylic, medium (4), with the label recommended 5mm hook and 6mm hook for the hood portion. The hood ended up not as deep as the one shown in this video. Also, the mannequin head is child sized and the woman is actually quite small. If you're an adult over 6 feet tall like the person whom I made this for, measure around their neck and add 2.5cm (1in) for the turtle neck portion. Double the increases per row for the first portion of the hood (starting with the 2nd row after the first row of increases: 2 half double crochetes in the first and second stitches and the last 2 stitches of the rows). Then, for the second part of the hood, continue as instructed in the video but with extra rows. By the end, my hood is at 35cm in length and I should have gone a little more. I followed the video and didn't add the extra increases that I'm recommending doing. It definitely is not deep enough to fold back like she does in the video which is why I say she is particularly small. The person I made this for looks like an assassin's creed badass so I'm not saying this is a bad outcome but it's not what I was going for with it either. Good pattern but I'm altering it for the next one!

[@EngelchenNele2000]

Thanks! I just finished my first hood and I had the same problem. It’s just not loose enough. It fits me, but it’s not the style of the video and just too tight. Luckily my little sister asked if she could have a hood too. So this one I made goes to her. Hopefully it fits and looks better on her. I definitely will do another one for me and my mother. I‘ll try what you’ve said, thank you so much!

[@mercemartinez2292]

Cuantos ovillos se necesitan?

[@savinabees9220]

Interesting outcome🤔...did you use different wool? I used the suggested merino and followed to a tee. Its perfect....My head is on the smaller size but I find the fold over hood is actually a tad on the large size. I feel like the measurements are perfect for a small to average framed woman. Much luck on your next one!!💜

[@EngelchenNele2000]

@@savinabees9220 yes I used a more chunky yarn with hook size 10 on the first one. For the second one I used also chunky yarn but not as chunky as the first one (hook size 8). The second one turned out more fitting but still a bit small/tight for me. The neck part was perfect but the hood is not as loose as I wanted to. It fits my head but it’s just too tight for my taste if that makes sense? For the third one I used the wool baby snuggle from hobbi. The neck part was a bit tighter here although I did the exact same length and width as in the second. For the hood part I did what the original commentator said. I did a double increase for the first 3-4 rows (so 2 stitches with increases on each side) to have more width. Then continued to do the normal increases of the video. Also I did 18,5cm instead of 17cm to have the width I wanted. After finishing the recommended 30cm I just tried it on to see what it might look like. Same as in the second one, fits but too tight. So I did more rows to end up with the fit I wanted to. In the end I had about 37cm length for the hood. So I don’t know if yarn matters or not. I would say it kinda does but also the fits were quite similar with the recommended cm of the video. Maybe it turns out a bit tighter or looser but that’s just to the stretchiness of the wool I guess. For a perfect outcome I would recommend measuring your neck and your head. I measured from the back of my head to my forehead to have the width of the hood and added about 2cm. For the length of the hood and the neck part I would recommend to just try it on and see if you have to add more or not.

[@ameliacraik3392]

💯 ...yarn and hook size really matters !! Such a fun project tho took around 5 hours to complete I had a blast doing it !! Thanks !!

[@turhelke]

I loved that you tell us the lengths in cm as well as in stitches, so that if we wanted to use a different weight of yarn but end up with the same size we can, thank you! 🥰

[@Cards4Cancer]

I just wanted to pass along my thanks. My daughter and her family moved to Alaska this past spring. So I wanted to make these cozy hoods for when they are waiting for the bus. 3 little boys that have this grandmother completely around their fingers. We miss them so very much. This will go in their Christmas boxes.

[@karlamontalvo2712]

How did you adjust the pattern for kids sizes?

[@Cards4Cancer]

@karlamontalvo2712 I didn't adjust. They are all in school and we're very excited to get them and wear them. Their Mom n Dad were jealous so I had to make them one too.

[@MrWorldWidePitbull305]

amazing pattern! This is one of the easiest clothing item pattern I've ever followed. My hood turned out amazing!

[@sidders98]

This will be perfect for cold mornings doing farm chores ❤️ can't wait to make one for each of my family members

[@laurenpilcher4314]

I just whipped this project up and omg it is SO COOL. It is a christmas gift but I will definitely be making myself one. It feels cozy AND post-apocalyptic at the SAME TIME! :D

[@evah819]

This is by far the best tutorial of anything I've ever done. Simple to understand, quick to do. Thank you 🙏

Amazing tutorial! Mine came out perfect! I made this for my sister but now I want to keep it for myself!😭❤❤

[@Furball891]

Thank you so much for this! The last time I had tried crocheting anything was over 20 years ago at school and I was REALLY bad at it, but with some encouragement from friends and this clear and precise video I'm very proud of the result! I made the hood intentionally a bit looser than in the video, but with such easy instructions it was a very easy modification to make. Also thank you so so so much for adding the measurements in centimeters, since I had a bit different thickness of the yarn, but as I aimed for the centimeter-measurements instead of the exact number of the rows it still came a very nice fit. I never would have thought that I could crochet something like this. This was an immense confidence boost!

[@HanJimin0910]

You are genius!! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful pattern. I'm going to make this for myself for this winter. I hope you have a nice day. Thank you!!

[@audreysthoughts3698]

Thank you for making the videos. I am very much a visual learner. I bought the pattern of this after watching video to have it on hand and to support you. I have not crochet in over ten hrs hrs and only ever made blankets. These videos have helped me understand what I read and I am goi g to make this over this holiday weekend. Happy thanksgiving and thank you ❤️

[@incred-i-boxtinyhomedreams3685]

Bunny ears, cat ears, bear ears, puppy ears... basically any ears you can find a pattern for would be really cute! Great idea! 👍

[@olidemotte6419]

I’ve made two of these projects so far! The pattern is super easy to follow, for the first hood I followed the pattern exactly and the second try I’m adding extra rows for a looser fit around my head. I also doubled up on yarn and it created a thick, well shaped hood! I wear it around my neck with a scarf usually and the hood is easy to pull up for chillier days.

[@ginnylane4252]

Omg ! I love it ! Thanks for sharing.

[@suncevcvet]

Thank you :) I just started and am looking forward to the result. It‘s great that you give all measurements in cm also. As has been said before, this way we can use all kinds of hooks and wools. Different number of stitches and rows, same result in cm. I like the look of thick wool best though :D More often than not I only have thin wool, then I combine them. Gives a nice color effect.

[@leelahasan3988]

Thank you so much! Absolutely wonderful tutorial. You explain things very well, and unlike some of the other tutorials I have seen the shots are clear enough that I can see each stitch. I have been looking for something exactly like this that was cute enough that I'd actually wear, but still very warm. I recently moved to a new state that reaches -30ºC in the winter, so keeping my face warm while walking through the freezing wind was pretty high on my priority list. I decided to make the pattern in super bulky yarn with a size 9mm and 10mm crochet hook, since that was the weight of the wool I had available to make the pattern and I knew it would be much faster. I have had no problems translating the pattern with my yarn and crochet hook differences for the cowl/neck portion. Hoping the hood works just as well.
