Finished my hood!

I started out with the goal of making quite a few mods to make it perfect for me, but uh….ended up scrapping most of it to be honest. I should quit trying to be more clever than the pattern writers. This is based on the Vasylyna hood, though that pattern calls for a stockinette body. I originally made it so that I never joined in the round after completing the hood, made buttonholes, and sewed on buttons. But I just really didn’t like how it sat. I ended up sewing it all up and like it a lot better. Go figure.

Here it is pre-sewing on buttons. The neck is long enough to fold double, and I got quite warm wearing it around my house so I think that bodes well.
