Knit Hood

This is my own pattern. I took my idea from this pattern. But since I don't have circular knitting needles I created my own patter. (http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/knitting/outerwear/through-the-woods-hooded-neckwarmer/4282)


If you need clarification on the pattern please comment.

MATERIALS:

• Yarn
• Knitting needle 10mm
• Sewing Machine (or you can hand sew with the yarn)

KEY:

• cnf- cable needle hold in front
• cnb- cable needle hold in back
• lf- left needle
• *___* -repeat what is inside till end of row

What you will be making is a big rectangle. How long it is is up to you (How many you cast on and how many times you repeat the steps.)

Cast on a multiple of 14 plus 8. See Pattern.
This first part is for  where the buttons will be placed. You can repeat these steps until you are satisfied.

1. Row 1(RS): k

This part is for the cabled look of the pattern. Repeat as much as you'd like for the length of the hood (how far back it goes).

1. Row 1(RS): k4, *p4, k6, p4, *k4.
2. Row 2: p4, *k4, p6, k4, *p4.
3. Row 3: k4, *p4, k6, p4, *k4.
4. Row 4: p4, *k4, p6, k4, *p4.
5. Row 5: k4, *p4, slip 3 sts to cnf, k3 from ln, slip sts from cn onto ln then k3, p4, *k4
6. Row 6: p4, *k4, p6, k4, *p4
7. Repeat steps 1-6 until you reach desired length.

When finished fold the work in half so that the right sides are facing each other. Sew one side of the work together to make a hood.
