Fall is my favorite season of the year. It's the season where we finally put on our beautiful knitted garments: scarves, sweaters, mittens, hats. I tend to be cold easily, especially from the head and sometimes the weather is not cold enough to put on a hat but cold enough that I want to keep my head covered in some way. I used to love sweaters with a hood exactly for that reason: a hood is a great compromise between a hat and nothing at all. But as much as I love hoods, I don't have an entire wardrobe of hoods. So I thought, there must be a way to get the same practical aspects of a hood without one, and I came up with this idea: a knitted hood, without the sweater. A simple lace pattern doesn't fight with the soft color changes of the Noro yarn and it's a quick knit! |
