digital cozy winter hood sewing pattern
What child wouldn’t want to hear a bear hat in the winter? This hood can be made in a wool coating with a velveteen lining. But it could also be made in microfiber fleece or even lightweight wool felt repurposed from an old sweater. By altering the shape of the ear pieces slightly, our bear could be transformed into other furry friends: long skinny ears make a rabbit; squat triangular ears make a cat; larger oblong floppy ears turn it into a dog.
