Chromia Hood
Launching Febrary 2, 2026
Chromia Hood offers the warmth of a hood and the practicality of a scarf, knit in plush garter stitch that drapes comfortably
around the neck and shoulders.
The hood is worked in one piece from one scarf tip to the other
scarf tip, with a built-in border that combines an i-cord edging
and a subtle slipped-stitch detail. Bold stripes are created using
a simple intarsia technique. The hood shape is formed with increases and decreases, then seamed at the back of the head
using mattress stitch.

Also available via my Payhip shop.
