Feel free to do an extra round or two of sc if you want the hood to extend a little towards the face.
At this point, you might want to attach the ears to the head and try measuring to see if the hood ts the bunny. Depending on the thickness of your yarn and the tension, you might have to increase or decrease a row between rows 9-12.
