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 a crochet hood that you will definitely find something for yourself.
