Tryon Creek Hoodie Kit

Description

The Tryon Creek Hoodie by Kay Hopkins is a versatile accessory that blends modern practicality with timeless cable texture. The hood with an attached cowl keeps you cozy, whether worn as a classic cowl or pulled up into a balaclava-style hood when the weather turns. Worked in the round from the bottom up, the shaped cowl transitions smoothly into the hood with a simple split under the chin. The hood is then worked flat in an easy cable pattern, with thoughtful decreases creating a clean finish and a three-needle bind-off closing the top. Customizable front ribbing and your choice of tie—I-cord, ribbon, or even a shoestring—let you finish it your way, and the four included sizes make this quick knit perfect for gifting.

Knit in The Fibre Co.’s Cumbria, the design gains a beautiful balance of structure, softness, and warmth. This DK-weight blend of Merino, Masham wool, and mohair delivers crisp stitch definition for the cables, along with durable comfort and a gentle halo ideal for chilly days. Cumbria’s subtle luster and classic palette highlight the clean lines of the construction, making it a natural fit for a piece designed for everyday wear.
