Sophie Hood Knit Kit

Soft, sculptural, and effortlessly chic — the Sophie Hood is the ultimate cold-weather accessory. Designed as a modern alternative to a hat and scarf, this beautifully shaped hood wraps gently around the head and ties at the front for both warmth and style.

Worked flat from tip to tip in garter stitch, the hood features elegant built-in i-cord edges for a clean, polished finish. Increases and decreases shape the hood, and the back is neatly sewn using mattress stitch for a seamless look.

Knitted in Chaska Alpaca Air, the finished fabric is light as a cloud, softly brushed, and wonderfully warm without feeling heavy.
