The Jose Hood.  Sure to get a lot of use this winter and I can't wait!  Rumor has it, we will be getting a lot of snow this winter!  BRING IT!
 
I purchased this yarn while traveling in France last March.  I found the most lovely yarn shop in Bordeaux who talked me into purchasing yarn for two wonderful knits.  This and another I will share soon.  This was a wonderful travel project as it is knit in all garter.  Perfect for bopping around and picking up and putting down the needles.  I love it so much I am considering making a second!
The attached i cord and i cord bind off use a lot of yarn so proceed to those steps with enough yarn!

Pattern:  My Jose Hood
Yarn:  Pascuali Cashmere Charis  5 skeins
Needles:  US 8/ 5 mm
Mods: None really... However if I knit another one:  

From a friend (thank you Vivian) who suggested perhaps you want to knit the i-cord edge as you go...

* Knit to last 3 sts on every row
* bring yarn forward
*slip those 3 stitches purl wise
*turn your work and knit the first 3 sts on new row.


I spoke all about the making of this in Episode 65:
