Sophie Hood Knitting Kit | Snefnug Yarn + Pattern

Sophie Hood Kit

Snefnug Yarn + Knitting Pattern | PetiteKnit | Intermediate

The Sophie Hood is a hood and scarf in one. A snug hood sits at the centre, with long scarf ends that you can wrap around the neck or leave hanging loose. Knitted in CaMaRose Snefnug, it is wonderfully light and soft against the face, and the airy chainette yarn makes the garter stitch look full and cosy.

It is knitted flat in one piece, from one tip to the other, in garter stitch with built in i-cord edges. The hood is shaped with increases and decreases, and the back is sewn together with mattress stitch along the back of the neck to finish.

This kit includes the Sophie Hood pattern and the Snefnug yarn needed for your chosen size. Choose your Snefnug colour, pick your size and choose whether you would like a printed pattern or the pattern emailed to you from Ravelry. We will add the right number of balls to your basket.

If you choose the Ravelry pattern and have a Ravelry account, please add your Ravelry username to the notes section when placing your order so the pattern is saved in your library.

You are purchasing a knitting pattern and yarn, not the item itself.

Snefnug means snowflake in Danish. Baby alpaca and merino are blown into a fine organic cotton tube, giving a chainette yarn that is soft, warm and remarkably light, which makes it ideal for something worn close to the face.
