This cozy Frankenstein-inspired hood features light-up neck bolts. A flat-top head and fringed bangs makes this excellent snow-boarding attire. For more mellow knitters, the illuminated neck bolts add both safety and fashion to twilight dog walks.

Directions are given to create light-up effects using e-Textiles.

The only difference between the two sizes is the circumference of the collar piece. The hood should fit almost anyone.
