DIY Knit Hood (Helvellyn) Free Pattern from Ravelry User Lily Kate France.
This is a beginner project (according to ratings on Ravelry). If you like a free pattern, download it ASAP because you never know if it will disappear or become a pay pattern. The author describes the project as:
An oversized hood worked in one piece with shaping and moss stitch detail - no seaming required!
