Warmer than a hat or scarf and much less likely to be lost! Wear it alone or under a coat and hood. The rib is VERY stretchy so will grow with your child, while the single rib round the face stretches to go under your chin or under your nose.

Tension
24 sts and 28 rows to 10 cm/4” over rib stretched out

SIZES
To fit child (teen, woman, man)
Note: The rib is very stretchy and each size will fit a range of head and neck sizes
