Red Riding Hood

I am making the Red Riding Hood from the “Little Things to Sew” book. If I use the center piece on the hood I have 2-3 inches more hood than I do room on the neck of the cape. Interestingly that is the exact size of the center section of the hood. I’m making three capes so the first one I made a big pleat in the back of the hood. The other two I left out the center piece and the hood fits perfectly almost as if it’s been drafted to fit without that center section. I’ve made many patterns by Lizette and I’ve never run into this before. Since she’s released this pattern as a stand alone I thought I’d warn others in case the pattern hasn’t been redrafted.
