From Handknit Holidays: “Hoods are often associated with darkness or dark figures, but this one’s more urban mystique than goth, lightened up by sophisticated colors and flirtatious details that are repeated in the gauntlet gloves. It’s also wonderfully practical - it won’t ruin a holiday hairdo, but will keep you warm, whether you’re out caroling or braving the cold to meet friends at a neighborhood bistro.”
