Into the Hoods was our Fall ‘25 mystery knit-a-long that offered a whopping six hooded patterns in one knitting adventure! Over each of the four clues, knitters worked through the suspense of creating a hood without knowing exactly where the trail would lead. Each knitter chose their own path—picking between the Balaclava, Dickey, or Scarf style, and deciding whether to work in a single color or two coordinating colors. That's six different options, all from one knit along!

And now, that the mystery is revealed. You get to choose exactly which hood suits your style… check them out!

Into The Hoods Balaclava is a versatile accessory that does double duty. Wear it as a cozy cowl around your neck, or flip it up to cover your nose and mouth when the wind really bites.

For those who want coverage without the bulk, the Into The Hoods Dickey is your answer. The dickey drapes over your shoulders and tucks under your jacket perfectly. It also includes an optional face covering… that’s right, I added a Balaclava to your Dickey!

If you love a good wrap and want that scarf vibe with your hood, Into The Hoods Scarf (aka Scoodie) is the way to go. I mean, who doesn’t love a hooded scarf? It is a hood with tails that are perfect for wrapping, draping, or tying around your neck, however you like.

All three patterns include detailed video tutorials to help you on your knitting adventure. Let’s head into the Hoods together!
