The Cypress Hood is a cozy, semi-fitted hood with a three-button fastening at the neck and a ribbed hem that curves over the shoulders for warmth and coverage while reducing fabric bunching at the shoulders and beneath coat collars. Worked flat from a rectangular top panel, the hood takes shape as stitches are picked up along the panel edges and worked downwards, shaping the crown and neck. Short rows create the curved hem, while ribbing frames the face and finishes the button bands.
