I must tell you, this beautiful hooded cowl looks hilarious when it is not on a human - sort of like squishy, soft chainmail! But, I thought, we all need a bunch of (at least mental) armor these days, so why not just go with it! It actually looks great on - and it soft and warm - keep out any little drafts that like to sneak in between your hat and scarves. It is also the perfect thing for that favorite jacket or coat that just refused to come with a hood! You can find kits for Kniter’s Armor here.

This pattern will be free for the first 1000 downloads and code ARMOR and free with purchase of any of my other patterns for one week (put both into your cart before using the code) and code FREEARMOR. Kits also include the pattern!
