I finally got my kinsman pullover from thru-hiker all cut out and ready to sew. Looking at the new hooded cocoons made me really want to add a hood. Does anyone know where I could find a pattern for an insulated hood? Or do I just have to wing it?
I've already decided to make another kinsman with momentum90 and primaloft one after this first attempt, so if I do have to make my own pattern I'll just look at this as an opportunity to work out the kinks.
Thanks!

I've used the pattern for a couple of ponchos and plan on using it for my next insulated jacket. Suggest you first make a test hood from inexpensive material. I had to make some adjustments to the pattern to get it to fit better to the poncho.
