Cosmic Hood is a lightweight, cozy hood with a textured cable pattern. Worked in 100% alpaca held double, it feels soft and airy while keeping your head and neck warm. A comfortable alternative to a hat and scarf, it is easy to wear for everyday outings, walks, and active days outdoors.
Cosmic Hood features an all-over cable pattern, a softly shaped crown, and a neat 1×1 ribbed edging around the face. Its seamless construction offers a comfortable fit, with enough depth to sit naturally around the head.
The pattern includes stitch charts, detailed written instructions, step-by-step photographs, and links supporting the key techniques.
