Something you should know, before you buy:
For the pictured sample(s), and every hood I’ve ever made using this pattern, I’ve used recycled or unraveled yarn. I do not know the exact yardage needed, and the yarn weight I use varies. Sometimes I use two lace weights held together, sometimes a light fingering or fingering weight. The difference in size, for me, is negligible, but I know not all knitters like making projects that have unpredictable outcomes. So please keep that in mind before you buy! I will not offer refunds.

Materials:
Bulky gauge knitting machine
Latch tool
One, two, and three prong transfer tool

Gauge: 4 Stitches and 5 Rows per inch at a Stitch Size 8. I did achieve gauge with bulky weight yarn at stitch size 10.
