Is it a hood, a snood or a cowl? Regardless of how you choose to define this accessory, it’s a quick crochet project that will keep your head and neck cosy all winter. Wear it pulled up like a hood or a snood, or down like a cowl.
It uses short rows to create shaping around the back of the head to avoid excess fabric at the front and to easily wear ‘up’ as a hood.
This pattern is also available to read for free on the dora does website.
