Angora Hoods

Ingredients

• Three or four balls of Angora wool

Method

1. 1

   Set up ninety stitches or more to make a piece long enough to go around the child's face and meet under the chin.

2. 2

   Knit back and forth, plain quarter stitch, until wide enough to cover the top of the head.

3. 3

   Slip and bind off on each end, leaving not quite one-third of the original number of stitches in the center for the crown piece.

4. 4

   When the crown piece is long enough, cast off and sew the crown to the front on the wrong side.

5. 5

   Make a border of small shells around the head and run a ribbon around the face and neck to adjust the fit.
