The Tussaaq Hood is worked in stocking stitch, using 1 strand of each yarn held together. The hood is worked top down: First, you work a panel at the top of the hood, then you pick up stitches along the sides. The hood is shaped by both decreases and increases, working both in the round and back and forth. Finally, you work the ribbed edges at the bottom and around the opening.
