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:
Standard gauge knitting machine (single bed)
Latch tool
One, two, and three prong transfer tool
Machine weights
Row counter
Lace to Fingering weight yarn
Tapestry needle
Scissors

Techniques:
Latch tool cast on and bind off
Stockinette knitting
Folded hems
Rehanging
Decreasing
E-wrap cast on
I-cord
Mattress stitch

Gauge: 8 Stitches and 11 Rows per inch at a Stitch Size 6. I’ve also achieved gauge with a stitch size 8, when using yarns closer to sport weight.

The pattern only offers a single, adult size, but a child size is in the works and will be included as a free update for individuals who buy the pattern now.
