Winter Wonder Hood sewing pattern

You can use almost any type of fabric for this design, as long as you’re willing to experiment! The pattern was designed with cold weather in mind. A quilted cotton works well to give the hood a bit more structure. You can pre-quilt some fabric by sandwiching the batting of your choice between two layers of fabric, then pin and sew together in your preferred quilting pattern. For a woven quilted version, choose the larger face opening on the pattern template. Use wool coating for a warm, woolly, non-stretch version. Alternatively, you could use a waxed canvas lined with flannel for a rainy-day option, or even make a lightweight cotton version for sun protection on warm days. You could also use a fluffy sweatshirt fleece for a stretchy, cosy option. For versions made with knit and stretch fabric, choose the smaller face opening on the pattern template. In addition to the main fabric, you’ll need a ribbed or knitted fabric with at least 25% stretch for the neck ribbing and face opening ribbing. For the quilted version, you’ll need batting, preferably natural fibres such as wool, cotton, or bamboo, or polyester batting made from recycled materials.
