The City Hoodie can be worn as a traditional hoodie or as a hooded cowl. The shorter version is perfect for use as a cowl, especially when it's windy or the weather is blustery. The larger version has a looser fit around the face and offers various ways to wear the hood. Both options are incredibly comfortable and provide plenty of space for big or wavy hair. For a fun touch, you can choose a contrasting colour for the face edging or drawstring. This uses the super sumptuous Eco Cashmere Vintage yarn from Gepard. We love this yarn and this cozy hoodie!
