Measure the head from neck to ears.(My dogs are 3-4 inches) Knit 2 squares with these measurements, ie. 3x3 inches and sow them together on 2 sides. The third side is the one that is sowed on to the neck and voila, you got yourself a hood
First time I did this I made them way to small and the dog couldn't lift it's head hehe
That is the first hood you should make. Then when you got the hang of this easy one, you can make hoods that are more pointy by extending one corner a little on both squares. Then sow some yarn on the pointy tip and you've got a real cute hood.
Also when you get used to it, knit the side of the squares that attach to the sweater a little shorter, that also looks real cute
With the pointy top and the short neckside, the shape of the squares are sort of diamond instead of just square
Good luck
