Enter hood measurements

Choose the fit and construction, then add a center panel or winter face cover if needed.

Choose hood fit

Close fit

Lower-volume hood with minimal neckline ease.

Standard fit

Balanced everyday hood with a small front overlap.

Relaxed fit

More height, depth, and ease for a roomier hood.

Finished neckline length (cm)

Hood height (cm)

Hood depth (cm)

Crown shape

Face opening shape

Straight suits a classic hoodie edge, anatomical curves slightly toward the face, and protective projects farther forward for deeper winter coverage.

Hood construction

The three-piece option adds a calculated center strip whose two long seams match the side-piece crown seam.

Finished center panel width (cm)

Used only for the three-piece construction; 6–10 cm is a practical starting range.

Add lower-face cover / storm guard Generates a separate lined panel with overlap guides and snap markers for a winter hood. Check breathing clearance and visibility on a test sample.

Before generating

How these inputs affect this pattern

Use the notes below to understand which measurements shape the draft, which options change construction, and what should be measured again when values conflict. Presets are starting points; the submitted values drive the result.

Included

Side hood with construction marks

The pattern includes seam and cutting lines, center-back seam, face opening, grainline, neckline notches, labels, and a 5 × 5 cm test square.

Measurements

Finished neckline, height, and depth

Measure the garment neckline along its stitching line. Hood height controls head room, while depth controls how far the hood reaches around the face.

Fit

Close, standard, or relaxed

Close fit reduces volume and overlap, standard gives balanced everyday ease, and relaxed adds height, depth, and neckline ease.
