✨ The Story Behind Your Next Knit

“Combine different colors and textures to create that patchwork feel on the hood and the pockets—a great way to try out a new technique.”

What do you get when you combine colorful squares to make a hood, a simple textured scarf, and 2 pops of color for pockets? GeoHood, of course! This fun pattern provides a backdrop for squares to shine from gauge swatch to finished hooded scarf. Chase away the cold as you wrap up in this cheery pattern that brings all the coziness with its patchwork vibes.

🧶 Quick Highlights:

• Techniques: Long-tail cast on, knit, purl, bind off, picking up stitches, seaming using whipstitch method
• Construction: You’ll knit 8 squares (6 for the hood, 2 for the pockets), seam the hood, pick up stitches for the edging, then knit a textured scarf. The hood is seamed to the scarf and the pockets are sewn on.
• Make It Your Own: Textured and colorwork squares work best for keeping the hood’s structure. Lacy squares are less of a fit.
• Yarn Weight: Aran Weight
