It's a hood, or medieval hood. Sometimes it's called a lirpipe (sp?) if there 
is a long tail hanging off the back of the head. Though that term mutates to 
mean a (usually man's) rolled hat with a tail hanging down.

If you need a pattern Medieval Miscellanea has an easy one. If you want a very 
period pattern the pattern chapter of the Museum of London _Clothing and 
Textiles_ has one.

Hope that helps!
