Aesthetically, to me anyway, it made more sense to go ahead and seam the hood before adding the button bands - instead of binding off and seaming it later (I used a three needle bind off to seam the hood).I then picked up the stitches for the button bands in one continuous stretch.... up one side, over the hood, down other side. This way, I avoid an obvious seam at the finished edge of my hood.
Just another option to throw out there!
Hopefully I'll finish the bands and have this blocking tonight! I can't wait!

ETA- Unbelievable!!! Someone just pointed out that I have a miscrossed cable! Do you know how careful I have been with EVERY cable crossing - double checking them all, and I mess up on 2nd to the last cable!
Tartar sauce!!!!!!!
I have to go cry now :o(

Lynda -- I made my hood the same way (well, except for the cable crossing). Maybe you could claim it was intentional - kind of an intelligence test?
I noticed it, too. But the whole thing looked so good it didn't matter.
Check out the January One blog for a way to fix misscrossed cables.
