This funky hood can be worked up quickly with just under 100g of double knit 8ply yarn. The hood section is easy to work with half double crochet stitches from the back to the front, leading on to a wonderfully chunky ribbed band using front post and back post double crochet stitches. The hood is finished with herringbone half double crochet ties with chunky knots tied at the tops.
What you will need:
Yarn: 90g of 3/Light/Worsted/8ply yarn Hook: H (5mm) Gauge: 4 hdc sts and 2.5 rows per in (2.5cm) BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE.When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 1in (2.5cm) square, try using a smaller size hook, if more stitches and rows, try a larger size.

Jattern Stait:

Finishing
Fold over the tie and use a darning needle to sew up the edges BUT don't sew the last row together as this will distort the band. Repeat for the other side. Then tie your knots up near the band and you're done. I hope you enjoy making your Knot Just Any Hood!
