Detachable Granny Stitch Crochet Hood

"Denim jackets are all the rage. In fact, everything 90’s seems to be making a comeback lately. I’m in love with all things crochet, so adding a detachable crocheted hood to a denim jacket is the perfect melding of hip and style. This hood uses the Granny Stitch and the pattern includes instructions for two yarn weights: a lighter hood made using Fingering Weight yarn and a heavier hood using Worsted Weight yarn. Add this hood to virtually any jacket, be it denim or otherwise. "
