The Sophie Hood is worked in one piece from tip to tip. It is worked flat, back and forth, in garter stitch with built-in i-cord edges. The hood is shaped using increases and decreases, and it’s back is sewn together at the end, using mattress stitch along the back of the neck.

Length from hood to tip: approx. 102 (128) 154 cm [40¼ (50½) 60¾ inches]

Depth of hood: approx. 24 (24) 24 cm [9½ (9½) 9½ inches]

Gauge: 17 sts x 30 rows = 10 x 10 [4 x 4 inches] in garter stitch on a 5 mm [US8] needle

Needles: 5.5 mm [US8] / 60 cm [24 inches] circular needle (NB: our test knits got gauge with a 5.5mm needle)

We try our best to make our photos as accurate as possible but every screen displays colour slightly differently, so we cannot guarantee complete accuracy.  Hand-dyed yarns vary from one skein to the next so there will always be some variation between the photo and each individual skein. 

We highly recommend getting enough yarn for your project. To encourage this, you can exchange extra skeins if they are in their original condition, thus ensuring your project will have consistency. We dye in small, project sized batches, and don’t have dye lots.

Part of the hand dyed allure is each skein's individuality, even within a batch dyed at the same time. This gives final objects depth and nuance. 

With this in mind we recommend alternating skeins (every other row in flat knitting and every row in circular knitting) on larger projects creating a more cohesive blend.
