For 4yo gs. Still needs buttons

I have completed a crocheted wrap for my granddaughter. I want to add a hood to it. All patterns I see add hood to the right or left side rather than the finished edge of the wrap. I want to add it to the finished side because of the size I created. Is it wrong in the crochet world to add anything to the finished edge or last row of the blanket? Would greatly appreciate any responses.

Hi everyone! I just found this community today and I'm pretty excited about it ! I have wanted to crochet and knit for years and never got around to it until about 2-3 months ago when I decided it was time and I first got the hang of knitting and crocheting followed a couple weeks after - all on YouTube believe it or not! Anyway, I am finally beginning to experiment with reading patterns (I started just following along on YouTube) and modifying them...Still trying to learn... I found this perfect and beautiful pattern for a 'Fairy Tale poncho' and I absolutely LOVE it. I feel like I would love it even more if I added a hood to it. Does anyone have any idea how I could do that? Here is the link for the pattern: http://www.mooglyblog.com/fairy-tale-poncho/ Thank you in advance for any input!

Here is my latest Mother Bear that I call Mellow Yellow. Mellow Yellow bear has a crocheted hoodie. The pattern details for the crocheted hoodie can be found here.

I've turned my Adult Hood pattern into a Hooded Cowl with Buttons. I used Lion Brand Homespun yarn because it's so soft and warm. Perfect to keep warm this winter. http://dearestdebi.com/2013/10/crochet-hooded-cowl.html

My own design but not written up yet. I love this. So easy to pop over your head but keeps your arms free.
