Creature hood

Love the way hats keep your head dry but hate when they squish your hair?

Back when i had  dreadlocks i could never find hats or hoods to go over my big ol' head! So to keep me snug and dry i made my own pattern for this oversized hood/hat. Before long i'd made them for a bunch of my friends, and they look so cute on everyone, big hair or not :)


Buy the pattern for $4.50

One time i made one of these hats and then went on a boat ride to a far off land and there were these big monsters there and they made me there king and we danced and had a wild rumpus and slept in a big pile and then i went home (true story). I love all your posts (and hair colors), very well done!
