Smilla hood is knitted in super soft blow yarn, it feels like a cloud. The hood has a tie to make the fit adjustable, and it’s even cute to just wear around the neck under a jacket. It’s a fun and fast project due to the big needle size.

The hood is knitted top down back and forth while following a cable chart. Icords are then added to the bottom edges and the front edge is knitted in rib and folded to create a tube for the icord tie.
