How to Create a Crocheted Hood with Embroidered Design

Crocheting is a popular hobby that allows you to create beautiful and useful items. One such project is a crocheted hood with an embroidered design. This article will guide you through the process of creating your own crocheted hood, step by step.

Materials Needed

Before you begin, gather the following materials:

• Red Heart Jumbo Super Saver yarn in your desired color
• Size of saffron crochet hook
• Darning needle
• Eye hook
• Scissors

Step 1: Chain and Crochet

To start, create a chain of 91 stitches. Then, make a half double crochet in the second stitch from the hook, continuing until you have 90 half double crochets across. Repeat this pattern for 24 rows, chaining one and turning at the end of each row. Finally, chain one and fasten off.

Step 2: Creating the Point

For the point of the hood, chain three and place eight half double crochets in the third chain from the hook. Slip stitch in the top of the half double crochet to bring it up slightly. Chain one, place two half double crochets in the same stitch, followed by one half double crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around, ending with a slip stitch to join.

Step 3: Stitching Up the Hood

After completing the point, slip stitch into the first half double crochet. Chain one and place a half double crochet in each stitch around. Slip stitch to the first half double crochet again and chain one. Continue placing two half double crochets in the same stitch and one half double crochet in the next two stitches. Repeat this pattern until you have 11 half double crochets between two half double crochets.

Step 4: Embroidering the Design

To add an embroidered design to your hood, start by weaving the yarn through the stitches as if you were fastening off. This creates a chain-like effect. Continue weaving the yarn to create a pattern of your choice, such as swirls or stars. To secure the embroidery, weave the ends of the yarn through the stitches.

Step 5: Creating the Back Panel

Make another panel using the same chain and half double crochet in the previous steps. However, complete this panel for only 23 rows instead of 24, to account for the spike at the back of the hat.

Step 6: Attaching the Back Panel to the Hood

Turn the hat inside out and attach the back panel. Fasten on the yarn and slip stitch around the opening, ensuring the stitches are facing backward. The ends of the yarn do not need to be woven in as they will be on the inside of the hood.

After stitching up the hood, turn it back the correct way. Your crocheted hood with an embroidered design is now complete!

Conclusion

In conclusion, crocheting a hood with an embroidered design is a fun and creative project. By following the step-by-step instructions in this article, you can create a unique and stylish hood that showcases your crochet and embroidery skills. Enjoy the process and embrace your creativity as you craft your own crocheted hood.
