The Freja Hood is a hooded scarf that blends softness with practicality. It fits snugly around the head and transitions smoothly into long ties that can be left free or tied under the chin. The piece is worked bottom-up: the Left Side is knitted first, then the Right Side, and the two pieces are joined into a single panel. The crown shaping is achieved through gradual decreases, and the finishing touch is a seamless join worked with Kitchener stitch.
