about this pattern

a whimsical brioche hood for setting out on a frosty winter’s morning. wear the hood up to keep ears warm, or lower it when you just need the scarf.

super long scarf ends mean you can have fun wrapping this way and that !
tie them in a big bow, or tuck them in the back for an extra layer of warmth.

this pattern was adapted from its sibling, the sno cap bonnet !
