PATTERN STORY
Sometimes I want to wear a knit hoodie, but I do not want to knit one. It was time to create a quick and easy hood pattern to scratch that itch. If you like the pattern, you can also check out my Foxwood Scarf.

CONSTRUCTION
The hood is knit as a rectangle. Sides are picked up and knit flat until you join in the round. The band is then picked up and knit. The front flaps are then sewn down.
