Some of life’s most beautiful views come at the price of wind in the face. That’s no reason to sacrifice style. The Windswept Hood draws on Scandinavian design efficiency, combining an elegant scarf with a protective head cover. The piece is worked flat from the rear of the hood to the scarf ends, in classic all-over stockinette with wind swirl accents. Folded and seamed at the back, it features an all-over I-cord trim for a pretty and functional edge preventing the stitches from rolling. This remarkable, practical creation will warm you…whatever you’re looking at!
