Homespun Crochet Hood
This Crochet Hood was originally intended to be some sort of scoodie or hooded cowl, but as I got working on it I liked how it was working out and decided to use it for my very first Mystery Crochet-A-Long. I figured in order to make a Mystery CAL that it would be best to stick to one ball of yarn so I didn’t end up adding a cowl or scarf to it.
UPDATE: I finally made add ons for this hood. There’s a Cowl & Infinity Scarf.
I am so happy with how the mystery CAL turned out, even with a few errors, we all had great fun, and the mystery really had people guessing. Also I found that a lot of people struggled using the homespun yarn, so these are things that I will take into consideration when making another mystery CAL.
It took 3 days for someone to figure out what it was.. Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun!

Thanks for the mystery cal I had so much fun!
This is an adorable hood. I have been searching for these and they are not easy to find.
Thank you for sharing with us. We appreciate you. Blessings to all.
Thank you! If you can please share pictures. 🙂
On row 12 the repeat ends with a skipped stitch, but when I complete the 19 repeats I have 2 sts remaining before the marker … Your diagram shows there should only be 1.
I have started over 3 times and still comes out the same. What am I going wrong?
It’s hard to say without seeing the piece.. Did you finish round 11 with 64 hdc? the diagram shows the stitch placement when round 11 is completed with 64 sts.
Yes, 64 sts. I just treated the last 2 as 1, seems to be working out.
I would not call this a hood, I call it a prairie bonnet and I LOVE it! I have been looking ALL OVER the web to find a cute prairie bonnet and now I have found it! I TRUELY LOVE THIS BONNET and can’t wait to start on it in about 15 minutes. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
