Pattern: Viva Poncho Christina Stork Greta 2 with hood, p. 38 – revised
Started: 5.22.07
Finished: 6.17.07
Yarn: Wool boucle (unidentified from weaving stash) 77 yards/ 50 grams, Color Gray
Needles: Knit Picks Options #11
Gauge: 2.5 st/in, 4 rows/in
Ravelery link: Greta 2
Notes: I am knitting this as a capelet – just to the elbow. Instead of knitting from the top down in the round, I’m knitting this the same way the Fluted Ribs capelet was knit – in short rows from hem to neckline, start with a crocheted cast on, end with three needle bind off.
.
I like this capelet, my first with a hood. The yarn was not fun to knit, the bumpy boucle made it difficult to count stitches and row.

Here is the Knit Picks version, from an old catalogue.
