This pattern is available for $8.00.

This pattern will be released in February. Testers needed! Please message me with your email by Friday January 10th if you are interested in testing.

Currently, it is one size only, but the entrelac is stretchy enough to fit a wider head. Alternatively, you can add more length to the hood if needed.

The pattern is knit from the bottom up. The neck and face shaping are knit in the round. The entrelac hood is knit flat with seams.
