The Crown Hood Scarf is a beautifully modern hooded scarf featuring a soft, cozy hood with an eye-catching yet beginner-friendly cable running from the crown to the nape. Clean i-cord edges give the design a polished look, worked seamlessly as you knit from the top down. Beginning with the crown cable, the piece is knitted flat to the neckline and then into the tapered scarf section, shaped with gentle decreases for an elegant, refined finish. A stylish and functional accessory for cold-weather layering.

Overview of the project:
The Crown Hood Scarf features a soft knitted hood adorned with a striking yet easy cable pattern that runs gracefully from the crown of the head all the way down to the nape. Otherwise, the hooded scarf is elegantly simple, with clean i-cord edges that are worked seamlessly as you knit from the top down. This beautiful accessory is knitted starting from the crown cable, continuing flat down to the back of the neck and then into the scarf section, which is shaped with gentle decreases for a refined finish.

IN FINNISH:

Yleiskuvaus työstä:
Crown Hood Scarf -huppuhuivin pehmoisen neulehupun päälakea koristaa näyttävä, mutta helppo palmikkokuvio, joka jatkuu aina niskaan saakka. Muuten huppuhuivi on elegantin simppeli ja sen reunat viimeistellään i-cordilla samalla kun huppua neulotaan ylhäältä alas. Tämä ihana asuste neulotaan aloittaen päälaen palmikosta, josta työtä jatketaan tasona ensin niskaan ja sitten huiviosaan, joka muotoillaan kavennuksin.
