Product Information

Hood: (US - K, 6.5 mm hook) Find center stitch of scarf and place marker (pm). Counting out from marked stitch, pm on either side at 17(19) sts. A snood or cowl is endlessly variable depending on the yarn weight, stitch and length you go for. Chunky wool knitted on big needles gives a weighty look, and means you’ll finish faster, while fine, fuzzy yarn made with mohair or angora gives an airy, lacy finish. You’ll only need a couple of balls at most, depending on your chosen length. Change color every 10 Rounds. Work In continuous Rounds, moving stitch marker up each round. Add stuffing as you go, I found it easier to stuff after every 10 rounds. Make a Magic Circle and hdc 9 into the ring. Break yarn and use the seamless join to finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Of course, it doesn't have to be a cat - change the ear style and it can be any animal at all - the colors had me thinking both wolf and Totoro! In an orangey red it would make a great fox too. Your imagination is the only limit!

Below are some more photos from this Halloween. You can see Nate and my full length costumes as well as a close-up. I tried to pay attention to the details in creating both ensembles to emulate the characters from Alice in Wonderland. Hold the Contrast Color piece in front of the Main Color piece, with RS of Main Color against WS of Contrast Color. Using Main Color held doubled, sc the sides of the ear together, going through both layers. Work 3 sc into the point at the top, and leave the bottom of the ear pieces unjoined. Break yarn and leave a long tail for sewing to the hood. Row 1: Join Main Color (held doubled) with a slip stitch to an outer marked st. (Remove this marker.) Ch 2, dc in each st across, moving center marker up to new center st, ending with a dc in the last marked st. (Remove this marker.) Turn. (35(39) dc)

Sizes: The scarf is custom sized for the recipient, made to their arm span or height (plus a couple inches if it's for a child, so they can grow). The hood is written in two sizes, Child/Tween and Adult. The pattern is written for the Child size with changes for the Adult size in parentheses. When only one number is given, it applies to both sizes.

Main Color: 630 - 945 yds worsted weight yarn (held doubled), OR half that quantity super bulky weight yarn ( Caron Simply Soft in Grey Heather shown) As winter approaches, the need to bundle up becomes more prevalent. From top to bottom, we pile on layers to keep ourselves from the bitter cold. Although I made this particular hood for my costume this Halloween, once made, I realized how warm this actually is (since I wore it all night long). What do you think? I know I've got one happy kid... and two jealous ones! Guess I know what I'll be working on in my spare time. I hope you and yours like it as much as mine do.
