A hood in 2x2 rib with cable details on top of the head, at the back of the neck and in front on the chest. A folded hem at the face functions as a casing for an I-Cord drawstring.

The hood is worked top-down. First, stitches are cast on for the piece on top of the hood, and cables are worked according to chart. Then stitches are knitted up for the sides and increases are made to shape the back of the head.

Cables are worked, again according to chart, while decreases at the back of the neck and increases in front are made.

The work is joined in front and continued in the round with increases for the shoulders, while cables are worked on the front piece.

Shoulder and back piece are resting while the front piece is worked with decreases in the sides.

The hood is finished with an I-Cord bind off along the entire edge on the front piece, shoulders and back piece.

Stitches are knitted up along the hood’s opening and a folded hem in stockinette stitch is worked, with holes on the inside for the I-Cord drawstring.

Finally, the I-Cord drawstring is worked and carried through the hood’s casing.
