Fold the hood in half, touching the hdc rows together. Sl st along the top forming a hood. Turn inside-out, so the seam is on the inside.
Put the hood inside the cowl, right sides touching each other. Make sure the open edges of the hood are meeting in the front. Pin in place for easier sewing.

Using your needle and a length of yarn, sew the hood on where you have it pinned using the overcast stitch. This allows the cowl to stretch where it meets the cowl.

Once you are done stitching it together, weave in your ends and flip the ribbed cowl down.
