So I finished making a weird thing; Katniss' cowl finished

I finished this awhile back, and was waiting to post the final picture as a 'big reveal', but the last few snows of the season just didn't stick and I wasn't able to get a photographer. I decided to take some dummy pictures today and just post it. I'm planning on wearing it to Dragon*Con this year, and am fixing up my Singer treadle to hopefully sew through leather. Once I can find some suitable leather I plan to make her hunting coat from scratch. So, in the mean time, here's the finished piece.

    1. Thank you!
      I'm trying to remember, I know I wrote it down somewhere... I think it might have been 6 skeins of the Wool Ease Thick n Quick yarn

    1. Sorry, it took me several months to make so it would be very expensive to sell, and I tried to write up a pattern, but I had to do a lot of free-form when making it that was impossible to describe.

  5. What did you use to crochet around? And also, what sort of stitch did you use?
    This project turned out MAGNIFICENT!
    Also, I think you would look wonderful as Maleficent! It's probably one that gets done a lot; but the new movie is fabulous, and the character looks aaaamazing.

  9. Wow. That looks awesome. It looks perfectly alike. I was looking online to find a pattern that fits. For the top part I found something great, but can you maybe say if you knitted or crochet the bottom part? And what pattern you used in the bottom. The firm I will find on my own. Just can't find out what pattern it is in the bottom.
    Thank you very much already.
    Really a great job you did there.
