Motoring Hood

The Motoring Hood is the perfect vintage meets modern accessory, with its flattering hood and attached scarf for extra warmth. Style with your winter coat or layer with a knitted cardigan or sweater.

This quintessential vintage pixie hood is knitted flat in two separate pieces; the hood knitted in one piece with shaping added at the centre back for a more comfortable fit, and also a separate scarf knitted in a rectangular strip. Once knitted, the centre back seam of the hood is sewn up and then the front of the hood is folded back providing an attractive frame to the face. The scarf is then sewn in place over the bottom edge of the hood.

This simple hood is a great beginner friendly pattern, as well as a reassuringly simple knit for the more experienced knitter.

The sample is knitted using Susan Crawford Excelana North fingering weight.
