You can leave it where it is in the pattern or move it down by the same amount you extend your hood. It’s kind of a personal preference. I think moving it down will probably look better if you wear it with the hood up though. I had already put my pattern away, so I just eyeballed where I wanted the eyelets to go, but it was definitely farther down than normal. Great question, thanks!

This looks so comfy and cozy! I’ve tried the halifax with the funnel neck, but never with the hood. If you extend the hood 2.5 inches as suggested, how does that affect the button hole placement for the drawstring? Do you have to move it closer to the hood hem? Thanks!!

ah yes, I was thinking somehow that it was just the sleeves involved haha, thanks for the clarification!

Well you would still just be extending the CF of the front piece, so if it was all the same fabric you probably wouldn’t even really notice that it was a raglan right away. Does that make sense? Like the front drape would be the same.

I can’t picture how that would look with a rectangle attached to it….

Thanks Emily! I think you could def use the Lane hood. I used the regular FT from RCF, so it’s stretchy, but poor recovery.

I like all my sleeves to be tight, with almost zero ease, so that’s a great tip on how to substitute looser sleeves with tighter ones. Love it 🙂

Yep, you can just leave the hood off! I probably will rarely actually pull the hood up, just a cute feature! This is french terry, no lining. The lighter part is the wrong side of the fabric
