The Shelter hood is worked from the top
down, beginning at the crown. Stitches
are then picked up along the sides and
worked downward toward the neck. The
neck is joined in the round under the chin and
finished in 1×1 ribbing for a close, comfortable
fit. Lastly, stitches are picked up around the face
opening and worked in the round; an optional
i-cord drawstring can be added for adjustability.

The hood can be knit in DK-weight yarn
for a more structured, everyday look, or in a
combination of fingering-weight yarn held
together with lace-weight silk mohair for a soft,
airy, and luxurious drape. The result is a warm,
versatile accessory that frames the face while
providing reliable protection from the cold.
