Stay Warm in Something You Actually Made A balaclava-style hood and cowl in one. This is the cold-weather piece you put on and forget to take off. The relaxed fit keeps it from feeling bulky or stiff. Button it closed as a cowl, pull it up as a hood. It works either way. Skill Level: Intermediate Finished Size: 26 cm / 10.25" wide x 40 cm / 15.75" long (flat, before seaming) Knit top-down with garter and half fisherman's rib, so the texture builds up satisfyingly as you go Two-button closure means you can wear it open as a cowl or pull the hood up when you need it most Clear row-by-row instructions with stitch counts at every key row, so you always know exactly where you are "I've started and frogged so many hood projects. This one I actually finished." Materials Bulky or worsted weight yarn (approx. 242-535 yards depending on version) 6mm (US 10) needles Stitch markers Tapestry needle 2 buttons, minimum 25mm diameter
