this is probable the most important this for sewing knits.

All seams are 1/2″ seam allowance
1. Cut out pattern pieces, fabric is folded in half.
2. Pin a right and left of triangle together
and sew piece along the long side for both sets.
3. Pin the left and right swoops on to the newly
formed triangle.

5. Repeat for second triangle .
6. Press seams open.
7. Pin the hood side to the hood back
8. Sew with the hood back facing up.
This will help it to ease in better.
9. Pin and sew the second side of hood to the
back of hood.
10. Repeat this process for the lining.
11. Press the face side of the hood seams to the
center.
12. Top stitch on the center hood section down both
sides. This step is not necessary for the lining.
13. At the center of the hood pin the center of the
triangle unit right sides together.
14. Pin the seams carefully so the seam and
points match. It may take a few tries but it is worth
the effort.
Continue pinning working out to the edges .
Do this for the liner as well.
15. Sew from the dot to the dot at the other end.
(About 1/2″ from each end)

toward the front
17. Top stitch the face fabric along this seam
stopping 2″ from each edge.
18. Pin and Sew together the center seam of the
hood, for the face and the liner.
19. With right sides together pin both hood sections
matching the seams and points. Be very aware of
how the seams are facing. You will be sewing
between the dots. Stopping to turn the seam
allowances to the other side so you don’t catch them.

20. Reinforce the top of the point by stitching over
the seam 1” from the point down to the point then
another 1”.
21. Trim back the point and any other extra pieces
that will cause bulk in the seams.

Clip along the bottom.
23. Turn right side out.
