Wolf Eared Cap

[Leifer]

Guys, I appologize that it has been AGES since I've been active on the board. A lot of my free time has been spent working on a house that my family and I are going to be moving in to. Was finally able to work on a project this past weekend. A wolf eared cap. Here's a series of pictures that show it in progression.

Liefer, the hood looks great. What dimensions did you use? I have some material left over from a capote , made without a hood, made from an Whitney blanket. Not sure if I have a piece large enough, but should piece some parts together.
Thanks, Doug T.

As far as width goes, measure around your head and divide by two. Depending on what kind of seam allowance you want add an extra 1.5 to 2 inches. For length I draped a tailors measure tape over my head until I reached a length I liked. That's who long it should be. It can be one long piece or if you divide the length in half, two pieces sewn together. I used one long piece. I left about 4 inches unsewn to drape on either side of my shoulders. That will vary from person to person. To make the cut for my face I pulled the whole "sleeve" on my head and marked with a pencil where I wanted it to rest on my forehead. I made the cut about 3.5 inches wide, curved at the ends as seen in the pictures. Edged with red melton and beaded. You can forgo the beading and vary the face spot depending on your liking. This ended up being fancier than I'd intended. There is room for variation. Hope that helps!
