Viking hood


Good day to you all.

Last Sunday I spent approximately eight hours creating a Viking costume for my dad. Naturally, despite having the camera with me, I neglected to take any pictures until everything was finished. Also, I only took pictures of the hood. Mind, the tunic and trousers are exactly the same pattern as my own (also on this site), so they aren't important.

Anyway, this hood is similar to a liripipe, sans the pipe, of course. It is brown wool lined with green linen (which you may recognize from the trousers and tunic I'm making myself). It is technically reversible, but it's best to have the green on the inside, as the wool is kind of scratchy.

And pics:







I'll get pictures of everything once the renaissance fair rolls around (Oct. 12). Until then,

Hi,
I like the hood. I am trying to do something similar for my partner and I was wondering if you could be persuaded to help with a pattern?Best Wishes
