Masyaf is a soft and smooshy hood that doubles as a wonderful cowl when the hood is down. With shaping to fit over the shoulders and dip into your jacket at front and back, and self-gathering at the front, you’ll have warmth without the bulk.

Knit with super bulky yarn, Masyaf is a relatively quick knit.

» This pattern is recommended for slightly advanced knitters as it uses several repeats of short rows. (wrap & turn)

20 inches (51 cm) from top of head to lowest point

» 174 yards (160 metres) super bulky yarn
