Knitted hood in 156-1

In this DROPS video we show how to work the hood in the popular jacket in DROPS 156-1, we work size S. We have already cast on 116 sts (incl 2 edge sts in GARTER ST (= K all rows. 1 ridge = 2 rows K), in each side of piece) and work 1 ridge in garter st. Then work BAMBOO PATTERN back and forth (=Row 1 (= RS): * 1 YO, K 2, pass YO over 2 K sts *, repeat from *-*. Row 2 (= WS): P all sts. Repeat rows 1 and 2), with 2 edge sts in garter st in each side (continue the 2 edge sts in garter st in each side until finished measurements). When piece measures 38 cm/15" (our swatch measures 22 cm/8 3/4"), work as follows from RS: Pattern as before over the first 30 sts, garter st over the next 56 sts AT THE SAME TIME dec 12 sts evenly, pattern over the remaining 30 sts = 104 sts. Continue back and forth until 3 ridges have been worked over the middle sts, AT THE SAME TIME on 2nd row from RS inc 4 sts evenly over sts in garter st, and on 3rd row from RS inc 4 sts evenly over sts in garter st = 112 sts. Now work an elevation in back of neck in garter st as follows from RS: Work until 30 sts remain, turn, work until 30 sts remain, turn, work until 40 sts remain, turn, work until 40 sts remain, turn, work until 50 sts remain, turn, work until 50 sts remain, turn, work until 55 sts remain, turn, work until 55 sts remain, turn and work the rest of row (pattern over the last 30 sts). REMEMBER - you will also need to read the pattern to be able to follow. To see the pattern to this jacket, go to: DROPS 156-1
