I was asked several times now, from where I got my pattern for my embroidered hood with dagging – it’s really quite easy if you have this book:
The Medieval Tailor’s Assistant: Making Common Garments 1200-1500
page 193
“2. Pattern for Fig 1″
Yes, I know, many people say that the patterns in this book aren’t authentic and/or not accurate – but I tried this pattern and it works very well – it’s a rather easy pattern and I think it’s rather easy to sew especially if you are a beginner concerning sewing…
…btw. I already have a book with ‘A’ patterns and a refitted medieval pattern of a hood from a lady in Aarnimetsä (Finland), but that’s another project – will tell you more about as soon as I start this project
I just followed the instruction in the book, added more fabric for the Liripipe and the Face opening and for the dagging – you can find many photos of the progress of my hood here:

…and here the inspiration for the embroidery:
