Nature Hood

This hooded scarf begins at the tip of one end, where increases are worked to form a tapered V-shape. A straight section of colourwork follows, leading into further increases that add depth for the hood. The crown is shaped with decreases, and the remaining stitches are placed on hold. A second, mirror-image piece is worked with an alternate colourwork design, and the two halves are joined. SIZING Short (S), medium (M), and long (L), each with the same size hood, but different length scarf ends. Approx. 96 (113, 130) cm / 38 (44.5, 51) inches long when measured from crown to scarf tip. YARN Approx. 200m (230m, 260m) of Merino DK by La Bien Aimée in both Bleu Royale and Coquelicot Approx. 200m (230m, 260m) of Kumo by La Bien Aimée in both Bleu Royale and Coquelicot GAUGE 14 sts x 18 rows per 10 cm x 10 cm in double knit stockinette on 6mm needles NOTIONS 6mm needles (or the size required to get gauge) Scissors Tapestry needle CHOOSING SUBSTITUTE YARNS When double knitting, you usually go up a needle size, so if you choose to substitute alternative yarns, be sure to select a yarn or combination of yarns that would typically be knit on 5mm needles in stockinette stitch, not 6mm. It is recommended to use a combination of DK and laceweight yarns, rather than one single strand of thicker yarn.
