Simple Cozy Hood




1)Do an invisible cast on that will measure 37 inches (according to your gauge with the yarn and needle you want to use)
Hem:
2)knit stockinette stitch for an inch
3) purl a row
4) stockinette stitch for another inch
5) knit each stitch from first row together with the correlating stitch from the working row

6) knit in stockinette stitch for 8" to 12" (or desired length, you want this measurement to be from the middle of the back of your head to where you want the hood to be at the front of your face)  (mark the middle of the work, separating 18.5" on one side of marker, and 18.5" on the other side)

7) fold the work so that half the stitches are facing the other half of the stitches, do a 3 needle bind off or Kitchener st the sts together, weave in ends.

8) sew on a pretty closure in the place where it feels nice to overlap the bottom edges while wearing the hood =)  


*please let me know if you have any questions, or find any errors
Thanks and happy knitting!
