Reminiscent of the wind rippling the lake waters, classic cables and textured stitches create a cozy cowl/hood combination that will add warmth and style to any winter wardrobe.

Windy Lake Hood is worked in the round from the bottom up with decreases to shape the cowl. The hood is then worked flat, with the cable pattern, edged with rolled stockinette, continuing up either side of the hood opening. The body is worked in Dot Stitch, and shaped with decreases, increases, and short rows. The top of the hood is seamed with a 3-Needle Bind Off.
