Hunker down in handmade comfort with Hoodola: A Basic Knit Hooded Cowl.

The Hoodola pattern is accessible for all, from fearless beginners to expert knitters looking for soothing knit to sink their needles into. This oversized hood is perfect for those of us who don’t want their hair crushed by a hat in the winter months… curly girls, I am looking at YOU!

Hoodola is an inviting clean slate just waiting for your personal touch. You can choose any yarn weight—DK, Worsted, Aran, or Bulky—to make it as light or as toasty as you like. Hoodola is ready for any creative spin you want to bring to it. I can’t wait to see what everyone chooses to do!

The construction is unique and satisfying: it starts at the top with Judy’s Magic Cast On, worked flat in stockinette down to the neck with shaping, then joined in the round and finished with ribbing until it’s the perfect length for you.
