Cosmo Hood is a knitted hood with an anatomically shaped fit, created through a combination of short rows, increases, and decreases.
The hood is worked bottom up and begins with a folded hem worked in the round. The main part is then worked flat, back and forth, with shaping that creates a comfortable fit around the head. The face opening is finished with a folded hem as well.
Cosmo Hood offers plenty of room for colour play. The folded hems can be worked in two colours, with a contrasting colour visible on the inside, while the main fabric remains in the main colour. The cord is also worked in a contrasting colour, adding a small but distinctive detail to the design.
