The need for this hood was spurred by boyfriend’s solo walk across the northeastern United States. It was designed to keep the chill off your neck and the sun off your face, all while still being roomy enough for a cap to fit underneath on especially cold days. It is hard-wearing, casual, and has simple I-cord ties under your chin to ensure it stays in place. Just in time for fall, it is a perfect project for both the beginner and seasoned knitter.
