Still in “want to knit with sockyarn scraps” mode, so I decided to cast on another Lovely Loona, this time including the hood.
Casted on the hood as given, but did not want the pointy version, so I did a turkish cast on of 60 stitches (30 per needle) and now I am increasing 1 stitch at each side every other row (i.e. 4 stitches every second row), using a simple yarnover and I just knit it through the backloop in the second row.
Use my gifted sockyarn scraps as long as they last. I assume the cast-on yarn is a Lang Jawoll Magic Degrade »
