Now the Hood

The start of the hood on a wrap shawl.

The adventure continues. I finished the wrap part of this piece and set right to work on mapping out the hood.

I sewed in all the loose ends and tightened up the corners of the armholes a bit. Then, I tried it on. This gave me a good idea of where I wanted the hood to sit.

It actually took very little time for me to establish a pattern and pick up the stitches. Guess I’ve been loosely planning it in my head for a while now, and I am repeating the basic stitches from the wrap.

It’s so heavy and comforting. Exactly the kind of piece that will come alive with some blocking and get better with use.
