If you prefer the video walkthrough you can scroll to the bottom and watch Mama Dukes do this trick step by step!

Step 1: Choosing A Hoodie

We think that the Gildan G185 Hoodie is the perfect piece to do this trick on. If you have another style that has a collar that is a bit too tight, feel free to try it on that one as well!

Step 2: Make Your First Cuts - 1 Inch On Either Side

Find where the rim of the hood meets in the front. From the center of the front of the collar, cut one inch towards either side of the hoodie along the collar seam.

Step 3: Make A 1 Inch Cut Down The Center Below The Collar

You may have a fold line right down the middle of the front of the hoodie. If so, that is a great guide for where to make this cut. If not, just make a 1 inch cut as close to the center of the collar as possible, as shown in the image below.

Step 4: Two Diagonal Cuts

Cut from the left side of the collar directly towards the bottom of the center cut you just made. Do the same from the right side of the collar. 

Step 5: The Final Two Cuts on The Rim of the Hood

From right under where the string comes out of the hood, make a diagonal cut towards the end of your first cuts.
