The mermaid link brings me to the Red Heart site and I get a “page not found” message. I guess they removed the pattern.
Oh, my goodness! I just saw this and clicked on the Mermaid link, and you’re right! I’ll research this. In the meantime, I’ll remove the link. Thank you very much for letting me know.
When increasing the size of the fox hooded cowl, how many times should I increase by 4 to get the correct size for an 8 year old child. Thanks
The child I fashioned the hood around was almost 5 at the time. Depending on your eight year old, I would start with just the four increase, because that yarn is thick.
Has the free pattern for foxy hooded cowl been removed
Hi, Bernie. Did you try to access it from a smart phone? I checked it, and for some reason, I can’t access the pattern from my android, but when I got on my laptop to double-check, I had no problem. That is strange. Sorry about the inconvenience!
Thank you for sharing these adorable patterns! I can’t wait to try the bear & fox hooded cowls! What would you say is the biggest difference between them? It looks like maybe just the yarn and the shape of the ears, but I haven’t read through both patterns fully.
Lindsay, not much far as the pattern goes, but the yarn makes all the difference. Let me know how they come out!
I have been trying to find a free pattern for a small child of a hooded fox cowl. I saw yours and it would work great , but I can’t find the pattern. Can you help? Thanks
Hi, Sheila! Sorry you’re having trouble finding the pattern. It’s in the Crafting Links tab, under Crochet Patterns, the Foxy Hooded Cowl. Here’s the link so you don’t have to do all that: https://nittinninja.files.wordpress.com/2014/12/foxy-hooded-cowl2.pdf

Your best bet would be to search websites like Ravelry.com and AllFreeKnitting.com. I found a few patterns, but I don’t know what you consider “original”. 🙂

Thank you for sharing this pattern. I’m going to try this for an adult. Fingers crossed!
Good luck! Show us when it’s done.
I will! I taught myself to crochet 13 months ago by watching youtube videos of others crocheting. I’ve been learning how to read patterns and when I get stuck I find a youtube video to show me whatever stitch it is. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks! Thank you again.
The links don’t work at all. Maybe they’re not android friendly 😦
It seems as though they’re not. I don’t know why. What do you need?
