Knit Picks has just released my latest knit patterns, Flowering Vine Hood (Adult Size) and Flowering Vine Hood (Child – 2 sizes). My beautiful friend and her gorgeous daughter graciously modeled for me.
Finished measurements for the child sizes: Top of the head to the neckband 11.5″/29.2cm (13″/33cm), Neckband length 18″/45.7cm (20″/50.8cm), One side of the face to the other 18.5″/47cm, (20″/50.8cm). The adult size finished measurements: Top of the head to neckband 13″(33cm), One side of the face to the other 21″(53.3cm).
The intermediate skills required are cabling, lace work, I-cord, kitchener stitch & simple embroidery. If you’re unfamiliar with any of those skills, take heart! This pattern would be a gentle introduction. Both easy-to-follow charts and written instructions are included.
When I designed the hood, I thought it would be a stylish, lightweight cover for those chilly spring days. Who knew we would bypass that season altogether?? Oh well, fall is just around the corner!
