How to make a hood from a stole?

In the off-season and winter, a large and long scarf is a real salvation. Indoors it can be thrown over the shoulders, and outdoors it can be put on the head instead of a headdress. Don't like the tight fit of the stole to your face, doesn't it make you look good? Then learn to wear it like a spacious hood.

In what cases can you wear a stole hood?

Coats, raincoats and fur coats of a traditional cut look wonderful with a similar headdress. It will be an excellent solution for a girl or woman with large features or an oval face.. With this type of appearance, it is quite difficult to decorate your head beautifully, but a scarf-stole will solve the problem. It does not fit tightly, so it is ideal for ladies with full cheeks or wide cheekbones.

Ways to make a hood from a stole

It can either be sewn or knitted. If you choose the latter option, you can adjust the depth and width of the improvised bashlyk.

Method 1

Set the threads aside so you don't have to sew. All you need is a scarf, but the scarf is very long. Otherwise, there won’t be enough fabric, it will begin to hug the face and the “hood” effect won’t work.

Algorithm of actions:

• throw a stole over your shoulders;
• tie the ends in a knot;
• twist;
• insert your head into the resulting loop;
• Pull one of the loops at the back;
• use this loop as a hood.

At the neckline and neckline, the scarf will look like a collar. It will hang from the head, which will create the effect of a hood.

Method 2

For it, take a large rectangular or square stole. If you only have a square one on hand, then fold it to make a rectangle.

Further actions:

• we put it over the head so that one end is longer than the other;
• We wrap the long end around the back of the neck and bring it back to the front (as a result, both sides of the scarf will become the same);
• we tuck the same tip under the front loop on the neck, simply thread it from top to bottom;
• repeat the procedure with the other half of the stole;
• then we loosen the stole on the head and give it the desired shape.

As a result, we will have a shallow hood on the head and an imitation of a tie on the neck. Moreover, the hood can be folded back and then returned to its place. These manipulations will not break the structure. Bends with the whole body or just the neck will not destroy it either.

This option is also good because it is easy to choose jewelry for it.. For example, you can fasten a brooch to the place on the neck where the hanging ends of the scarf come out.

Important! To prevent a stole made of flowing material from slipping off your head, buy a special cap for it. That’s what it’s called: a bottom hat under a scarf.

Method 3

Similar to the first method, only this time the stole should be tied when removed (does not need to be draped over the shoulders first). With this approach, the scarf will initially twist and look like a collar.

Rectangular stoles are more suitable for this method. If you don’t have one at hand, take a square one, but fold it in half so that it becomes a rectangle. Further:

1. Fold the item diagonally to create a triangle.
2. Tie the ends that formed the top (central, not side) into a knot. If you do everything correctly, you will end up with a loop.
3. Put your head through it and repeat the steps outlined in the first method (twist it and wrap it around your neck again, make one longer loop and throw it over your head).

Method 4

This an option for those who have at least a schoolgirl level of needle skills. You will need to take a stole, cut out parts from it according to the pattern and sew them.

Step-by-step instruction:

• fold the stole in half;
• take the pattern and place it so that it lies along the fold line of the stole;
• cut out exactly the same piece from fur (for example, from velboa fur) - this will be the lining;
• fold the top piece (cut from a scarf) in half, face to face;
• sew the top edge of the hood (on an overlocker, with a three-thread stitch);
• repeat the procedure with the fur lining;
• combine the lining and the outer side, sew (the method is similar to that used when sewing belts and straps).

The result is an elegant one-piece hood-scarf, beautiful on the outside and warm on the inside.

Important! Stoles made of translucent fabric are not suitable for this method, only thick ones. Otherwise, the fur lining will be noticeable.

Method 5

1. Take a handkerchief.
2. Spread it on the table and fold it into a rectangle (outer edges away from you, fold towards you).
3. Bend one free far end in your direction (fold it in half so that in the end this free end lies exactly on top of the fold).
4. Take the near edges and turn the stole over from top to bottom, and then away from you. If you do everything correctly, the multi-layered part will not be next to you, but at the other end of the table (and it will be turned with folds down).
5. Then take the far right end and bend it back, and then do the same with the left one. The result will be a triangle.
6. Tuck its side ends several times. Do this until you reach the point where the triangle diverges (it will be hollow inside; this place is placed on the head).
7. Then simply take the folded ends and throw the structure over your head.
8. Tie the ends or secure with a brooch. Do not tighten too much, otherwise it will come out like a regular scarf on the hood.
