This cosy and versatile hood is perfect for keeping warm during colder months and is a great companion for the slopes. Knitted in two pieces, it features 2x2 ribbed neck and a pull-on design for easy wear. A channel along the face opening allows for an adjustable tie fastening, secured with a bow at the chin. The tie is created using the i-cord method, but you can customise your hood with a ribbon or fabric tie if preferred. Made using knit and purl stitches with simple shaping, this pattern is ideal for beginners looking for a rewarding first project.
