Braided cables, thick wonderful yarn, and cute animal ears, who could ask for a better knitting project? You guessed it, this knitting pattern is for a children’s fox hood. Unlike other animal hoods out there, this fox hood is form fitting, so it stays in place and is comfortable for children to wear as they play and run around. The yarn suggested for this pattern is not the slightest bit itchy, and is pleasant to wear right up against the skin. The hood can be thrown back and the garment can be worn as an attractive cowl. The ears were designed to be extra firm to hold their shape and stick up straight without falling over or flopping around. This is a super fun hood that kids can wear to a costume party, or just put on to stay warm on a chilly day.

The finished hood comfortably fits children ages 5–12
