Braided Hood

Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®

GAUGE:

10 stitches + 20 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter stitch (knit every row). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

HOOD
Cast on 17 stitches. Work in Garter stitch (knit every row) until piece measures 17 in. (43 cm) from beginning. Bind off. Fold piece in half and sew back seam.

Braided Hood Reviewed by Deborah viveros on 2008-02-25 *****
This is a great pattern. It was very quick and the cables are a lot of fun to make. It did require more than one skein of the Wool Ease Thick and Quick yarn. I made a second one with the hood in stockinette stitch instead of garter and it came out really nice.
