The Rosie Hood is a perfect head/neck accessory for cold winters, breezy transitional seasons, and even under a helmet for bikers! Make it your own with stripes, different textured yarns, and/or a fun border!

Contstruction:
This piece worked up in two panels, each panel starting from the bottom, thin part of the scarf, increasing every other row to eventually make the top/head part of the hood. The hood shape is shaped with normal rows and decrease rows. Both panels are then seamed around the hood section. Once connected, the last part is putting a border edge of choice.
