LEWSKY

from Moon And Turtle: Knitting Patterns with Variations

The Lewsky Hood was designed to be worn with our Kordy sweater, but is as a great stand alone accessory as well! The optional attached face shield is an extra layer on the inside that you can wear scrunched around the neck or pulled up over your nose. The design features a few fun and unexpected techniques to keep the knitting interesting.
