Women's Hooded Cowl Snood 1013 - Knitting Pattern PDF - Instant Download

A hooded cowl worked flat in a four-row texture and finished with a back seam. The piece begins at the neck edge, transitions through two decrease rows for shaping, and ends with a clean face edge in stocking stitch. The fabric sits neatly around the head and neck without excess bulk, making it practical for everyday wear and easy to layer under a coat. Choose a wool or wool-dominant double knitting (DK/8-ply) yarn for warmth and structure; superwash and non-superwash options both work—swatch to confirm edge firmness and drape. The length is straightforward to adjust by adding or subtracting pattern repeats before the final stocking-stitch section. Blocking evens the texture and produces a tidy fold on the borders. One size; suitable for confident beginners who prefer clear shaping and predictable results.
