Mariner's Hood

................................. MARINER’S HOOD 
................................. A traditional thermal hood in cushy fisherman’s rib, this design is as beloved by hardy dockworkers as it is by urban trendsters. And surely they can't both be wrong! Optimised for a snug, anatomical fit, the construction makes this hood suitable for outdoor activities in harsh weather - including sports, physical work, as well as all manner of seafaring pursuits. And if your lifestyle involves none of these things, not to worry: The hood works equally well as a cozy everyday accessory, keeping your head, ears, and neck warm in one fell swoop. 
Try it in a solid colour for a classic look, in colourblock for a playful effect, or in stripes for an all-out commitment to the maritime aesthetic. A quick project in DK weight yarn, the Mariner's Hood is addicting to knit and practical to wear.
