Cosy Coco Hood (EN)

€4.90

The Cosy Coco Hood is the perfect accessory to keep both your head and neck warm on a cold day. The large decorative bow at the front adds a playful element to the design and the honeycomb stitch pattern is both quick and fun to knit. The hood has a set of snap buttons at the front of the neck which means you don’t have to pull it over your head to wear it - no more getting your hair all messed up, yay! You can also wear the Cosy Coco Hood down as a neckwarmer to add a nice detail to your outfit.

The Cosy Coco Hood is worked from the top down on 4.5 mm/ US7 needles in a honeycomb motif in a DK weight yarn. The work starts by casting on stitches at the forehead and working the top of the head part flat. Stitches are picked up around the right and left edges of the top of the head part and worked flat until the neck. Lastly, stitches are picked up around the face to create a wide double knitted tie strap which is knitted on 3 mm/ US2.25 needles.

Difficulty: Intermediate ★★★☆
