Why invest in hoodies, when you can have a hood, especially a crochet hood? It’s not attached to anything, so you can wear it with all of your tops, and it doubles as a great neck warmer. Do you prefer a hood with a scarf, or looking like a cowl? It all depends on your preferences.
Go for classic bulky yarn if you want a quick project that works up fast. Try something more intricate or colorful, if you need a flashy accessory to cheer up your everyday outfit. There are so many options regarding stitches, details and overall design of crochet hood, that you will definitely find something for yourself. Remember that great tools will help you make great crochet pieces, so see our selection of the best crochet hooks for beginners.
