This pattern includes nine standard hood sizes to fit from a small miniature horse up to a warmblood. Hoods can be made from single or double layers of material or made using insulation (triple layer). The extra small sizes each have a wide surcingle at the throat and hook-and-loop tape closures. The four larger sizes each have one wide strap at the throat and five straps. These straps can be fastened with either surcingle buckles or snap hooks. Guidelines are also given for using hook-and-loop tape closures on the larger sizes. The hood attaches to a blanket or sheet with elastic straps. The pattern also includes five stretch hood sizes. The stretch hood is made from spandex (Lycra™) blend fabrics. It has a fitted face, a zipper, and an elastic girth strap with hook-and-loop tape.
