Hi all, I need some help with making hoods for (fantasy) cloaks, such as often appear in the movies like Lord of the Rings etc. I've searched though the internet and I found really a few, the only pattern I tried was one by Randall Whitlock - the page I got it from doesn't work any more - it looked like the hood on this web page: http://home.clara.net/arianrhod/Aldebaran/DoItYourself/Cloak02.html but instead of 33 cm it was 45 and instead of 26cm 45 again and there was no rounding, the hood was pointed. But that one was not what I wanted. It was not so wide and it was sort of standing out from the neck, I mean the hood was not partly lying on the shoulders, as often seen. I'm just asking if you have any experiences about that and if you have any idea how the patterns of the hoods here on the web pages could look like. One thing that suprised me was that I found that Galadriel's hood was of a semi-circular pattern, where the curved part was gathered to the neck opening. But it looks quite wide, I must say. http://www.jedielfqueen.com/lotr/costumes/Galadriel/cloakhood.jpg What do you think about gathering? Can you make a wide hood without it? http://search.msn.com/images/details.aspx?q=cloak+hood&color=both&size=1p&ht=400&wd=200&tht=128&twd=64&su=http%3a%2f%2ffantasy.dawndreams.com%2fcostumes.html&iu=http%3a%2f%2ffantasy.dawndreams.com%2fcostumes%2fcloakhood_blue_side.jpg&tu=http%3a%2f%2fimages.picsearch.com%2fis%3f2942056471169&sz=32 http://www.cloaksofireland.com/pics/Renaissance/LadyAoife/Lady_Aoife_Large.jpg http://www.bodyhangings.com/cloaks/kinsale.jpg http://www.cloaksofireland.com/Kerry3.jpg Please, if you have any advice or some links on te web, let me know.
