Victoria is a knitted hood and scarf combination knit in a beautiful Malabrigo wool.

The scarf and hood are knitted separately and then sewn together in order to create open sections that allow the wearer to slip the scarf through itself in order to better secure it.

In addition, you are then able to slip the hood down if you are traveling inside and the scarf stays put. If you wish the scarf can be knit by itself without the hood creating a wonderful accessory item.
