The "Non Pixie Hood"

About
Crochet pixie hoods are really cute, but not everyone wants their hood to come to a point. So for those people, I have the “Non Pixie Hood”. It’s adorable in it’s own right, but curved to fit your noggin, not pointy. Since it’s made with a chunky yarn (one size above worsted) and mostly double crochet stitches, it works up fairly quickly. If you are new to crochet don’t be intimidated to try this one – it’s really easy!
