After I finished knitting the ‘Woolen Explorer’ cardigan, there was enough yarn left to knit this loop with a built-in hood. Nice and warm when it gets colder outside, and quite comfortable in less-heated indoor spaces.

I created this pattern after discovering an adorable dark blue sweater with white clouds online. It was clear that Momo deserved a unique, handcrafted version made with love by me, his Grandma - something far more special than a mass-produced piece.

The bag can be knitted in stockinette or in garter stitch.

I created the Loop Quatre Saisons for a friend who wanted a cozy cowl instead of her cowl which had been produced with scratchy yarn.
