Make Cold Days Brighter with a Striped Hood

Begin with the top of the hood, pick up stitches to shape the sides, then join to work the neck in the round. Ribbed edges and an I-cord drawstring finish the hood. Linked videos explain the techniques.

Two adult sizes cover head circumferences approximately 20–26 in / 51–66 cm. Use the PDF measurement diagram to choose between Medium and Large.

Aran-weight yarn, approximately 350 yd / 320 m for Medium or 437 yd / 400 m for Large. The sample uses Noro Ito. Use 5 mm circular needles in 16 and 32 in / 40 and 80 cm lengths, or sizes needed for gauge, plus markers, darning needle, scissors and measuring tape.

Knit and purl, picking up stitches, increases, working in the round, 1×1 rib, binding off and I-cord.
