Still playing with the lemon peel stitch.. put together this quick hood
Gauge is not essential
size can be changed by sticking to a even count of foundation chains plus one turning chain, adding as many or few rows as you like
Written using American terms
Worked in the Lemon peel stitch = sc1, dc1 every row ( a known stitch pattern )
Use any yarn you like with corresponding hook size... I used worsted weight ( a bit on the light side of the scale though ) and an I/9-5.50 mm hook
Stitches
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
dc = double crochet
1) ch to the length needed ( make sure it's a odd number ) .. from middle of the back od head, where seem will be to the front edge around face.. with mind I added a couple of rows of dc's after seaming if you choose to do so adjust length accordingly .. mine was 29 stitches
2) sc into second chain from hook, dc next stitch continue with sc one, dc one to end
3) chain 1, *sc 1, dc1* repeat to end of row
repeat row 3 until you reach the size you want folded in half
seam up the back
add two rows of sc around the front edge
I did the ties using a size Q hook with three strands held together, chained 25 and fasten off
fasten off weave in ends
Tips
each sc will have a dc worked in it, as each dc will have a sc worked in it
you will always end row with a dc
