Little Bo Peep meets Old Hollywood Chic! This hood/bonnet hybrid begins at the center back with a disappearing loop cast on and then maintains the circle with a gorgeous spiral increase design. It is then finished by knitting flat, creating a folded over brim, and using a simple crochet edge to clean up the bottom border. And of course, the mindless knitting of the mohair bow can be done as the first or final step!
