Tryon Creek Hoodie is the ultimate versatile accessory — a cozy cabled hood with an attached cowl neck so you can put the hood up when the weather calls for it. Quick to knit and perfect for gifting, this piece can be worn as a classic cowl or pulled up into a balaclava-style hood for extra warmth. The pattern includes four sizes to suit everyone.

Knit in the round from the bottom up, the shaped cowl transitions seamlessly to the hood with a simple split under the chin. From there, it’s worked flat while continuing the easy cable pattern. Thoughtful decreases round the point of the hood and create a clean finish at the back. The top of the hood is joined with a fuss-free 3-Needle Bind Off.

Add front ribbing, customized to your desired width, to finish it just the way you like. Choose your tie from I-Cord, ribbon, or even a long shoestring.

Designed for DK weight yarn, Tryon Creek is wonderfully adaptable—try it in Worsted or Sport yarn weights including yarn from your stash. Size and yarn usage will vary with differences in gauge and yarn choices.
