My midwinter wanderer

for my wintery wearing pleasure!!!!! I was so excited to finish this I did a marathon knitting session yesterday to marathon of the show Bones on my computer and stayed up till after midnight to get this awesome luxurious cowl/hood.

Back of my midwinter wanderer

I did use one size larger needles for the body as I’m a really tight purler and this pattern is all purled except for the edges and cables. I also added some extra increases starting earlier to add a few inches so the cowl would go over my wider shoulders. I cast off with an even larger needle and created a ribbed eyelet bind-off to make sure the lower edge was super stretchy. It’s definitely one of my favorite things.
