Sophie Hood

The Sophie Hood is a new pattern from PetiteKnit. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

The Sophie Hood is worked in one piece from tip to tip. It is worked flat, back and forth, in garter stitch with built-in i-cord edges. The hood is shaped using increases and decreases, and it’s back is sewn together at the end, using mattress stitch along the back of the neck.

The Sophie Hood is knit with Aran weight yarn. I think Mode at Rowan Softest Alpaca would be a great yarn choice. You can also use Malabrigo Rios with a strand of lace weight mohair. Warm and soft.

I cast off the last stitch just before we closed for the day. Alex is coming in on Friday and I will nicely ask her to take it with her to block and sew in the ends. I love how the colours came out. 

Beth is making dinner while I’m writing. After dinner I am going to work in my Advent shawl. It’s December 14th and I am about to start colour 6. That is being behind.
