Hoods

Dec 26, 2008 22:57

A few years back, I made a cardigan for myself that had a hood.  I fouled up the pattern somehow (I can't quite figure out how), and ended up with a really large neckline and a correspondingly large hood.  We're talking a Sith Lord, down-over-the-face hood.  Despite its other flaws, I was happy with the cardigan and wear it proudly.

Now my husband has fallen in love with the huge hood and wants me to make him a something similiar.  However, I can't figure out how to make a sweater with a huge hood and a normal sized neckline.  I know that I could make gradual increases along the hoodline, but he wants something big and floppy, that starts large at the neck and then drapes over the face.

Any suggestions?
