Sometimes our little ninjas need a carrier hood to help support their sleepy heads, for shade, or to lessen distractions when nursing. Two strap options (Attached Snap Strap and Elastic Loops) allow you to make this hood perfect for your carrier.
This pattern includes three hood piecing options for color blocking or for making animal hoods. Each pattern also has an ear location mark, to help you get those cute ears in just the right place.
Elastic Loop sides give you lots of flexibility. You can use this option on carriers with a cord keeper, like the original Tula and
MJ. For carriers with out a cord keeper, add cord keeper to the shoulder webbing or attach snapping reach straps to the elastic
loop.
Hoods are made of two layers and are reversible (if you add a second set of snaps). You can pick some great fabrics that match, coordinate with your carrier, or just fun fabrics you love. Flannel or Fleece will make a warmer winter hood. Mesh, like
Koolnit (which I sell on Etsy), makes a great summer hood. You can even line it with satin to keep your little ninja’s curls from getting mussed.
As your little ninja keep growing, so can this hood. The back of all hood styles has markings for optional height adjustment snaps. These work just like a snap-down diaper rise. Snap it all the way down for newborn ninjas. The shortest setting will keep the bulk of the fabric out of the way when your child is shorter. As they grow and fill out the hood, you can adjust the snaps: short, medium, and full height.
