Friend of the Forest Hood Size Medium This particular design represents a perfect confluence of events; first, I got a request for a hooded cowl with a rounded crown, and then I found this rather spectacular alpaca yarn in the sale bin at my local yarn shop and knew that it would be perfect for the job. And if that isn't delightful enough, I also played a harrowing game of yarn chicken and managed to finish this medium size hood with just two skeins of the yarn. As you'll notice, however, I recommend a bit extra if you're making this size - unless, of course, you like to live as dangerously as I do. ;) Sizes: Small (Medium; Large) (Small is perfect for toddlers & young children; medium for large children, teens, and small adults; large for large adults or simply a fuller-fitting hood) Yarn: Lana Grossa Alta Moda Alpaca (90% Alpaca, 5% Virgin Wool, 5% Polyamide; 153 yards [140 meters]/50 grams); #035 Lime Sherbet - 2 skeins (3 skeins; 3 skeins) A better look at the back finish. Short rows give it a nice rounded seam. Needles: one 16" circular needle in size US 9, one set of double pointed needles (dpns) in size US 9 for three needle bind off (you can also use regular straight needles and your circular needle for your third) Notions: Tapestry needle, stitch marker Gauge: 18 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette So let's make a hood thingy thing! And let's start by casting on 96 (108; 120) stitches loosely, placing marker, and joining it in the round. Next, purl four rows around as edging. And once that's done, knit until knit section measures roughly 4" (4.5"; 5"). Then we'll work a few transition rows, as follows: Transition Row 1: * k10, k2tog; rep from * (88; 99; 110 stitches) Transition Row 2: knit Transition Row 3: * k9, k2tog * (80; 90; 100 stitches) Transition Row 4: knit Knit transition rows 1 - 4. At this point, you're going to stop knitting in the round, and instead knit back and forth from the stitch marker (you're still going to need your circular needle to do this, however, since otherwise you'll rip your work apart at the break). Anyway, so we'll continue like so: Row 1 (wrong side): k1, purl until you have 1 stitch left in row, k1 Row 2: knit Knit rows 1 & 2 until piece measures 6" (7"; 8") from where you started knitting back and forth and you've just finished a wrong side row. Now we'll begin working short rows to shape the crown of the hat (here's a short row technique refresher if you need one). Since I run my own website and don't risk running out of space, I've given the short row directions for each size separately. So find your size below and work as given! Size Small Short Row 1 (right side): k39, wrap and turn (w&t) Short Rows 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, & 20: purl until you have 1 stitch left in row, k1 Short Row 3: k38, w&t Short Row 5: k37, w&t Short Row 7: k36, w&t Short Row 9: k34, w&t Short Row 11: k32, w&t Short Row 13: k30, w&t Short Row 15: k28, w&t Short Row 17: k26, w&t Short Row 19: k24, w&t Short Row 21: knit (not actually a short row!)

Complete the short rows given for your size. You have now worked both sides of your crown and are ready to seam the top. Therefore, divide your stitches evenly between two dpns and use third dpn to work three needle bind off to seam hood (you can also bind off regularly and seam, or of course use other needles besides dpns to complete it - I just like them because I don't have to worry which end I insert them through for the bind off!). Finally, using your circular needle again, pick up 86 (96; 110) evenly along face hole (in case any of you are as lazy about this stuff as me: the evenly part is important! Place stitch markers or something to keep your sections even if you need to in order to keep track!). Knit four rows around and bind off loosely. Tuck in ends and block hood, allowing both edgings (at the bottom of the hood and around the face) to curl naturally. And that, friends, is how you make this hood!
** This is a digital PDF pattern to knit your own sweater, not the finished product ** You will get a PDF with detailed instructions about how to make this sweater, in English and French. Aelita is a refined crossover sweater that is knitted seamlessly from the top down. You cast-on stitches for the shoulders then work the back flat. You then pick-up the shoulder stitches to work the front flat. Pieces are reunited at the underarms on a large circular needle to be worked until the waist. Then the rest of the body is worked in the round using a cable rib pattern. Stitches are then picked-up around the arm openings to knit the arm in the round. The cuff are also worked using the cable rib pattern.

The Tudor Blouse Knitting Pattern PDF Document Inspired by Tudor fashion and the luxurious dresses, with her feminine square neckline, exuberant exaggerated sleeves, ribbed cuffs and a lace weight peplum to allude to the skirt of the dresses. Sizing XS/S/M/L/XL I have a large bust for my frame so the blouse hugs my form a little tighter in the photographs as I wanted to stick to my overall dress size while keeping the sizing within standard sizing. The blouse ideally should have a little positive ease around the bust hence the sizing below. If you want a tighter fit around the bust then size down or use smaller needles.
