Navy/Patterned Wool Scoody

What on earth is a scoody? Also called a snood, it's a hood with a scarf attatched. These have been a rethreads favorite for about 4 years now, and I have refined them over that time into a pretty nice garment (if I do say so myself!)

They have a curved hood, and darts on either side of face, meaning they can fit snuggly around the head. I call this design the "Jean Batten" because they remind me of an aviators hat. (google "Jean Batten photo" to see what I mean.)

I've shown one styling option here - there are at least four. Let the scarves hang down, tie them, push the hood back like a scarf (my fave), or wrap it as shown. You 'll find some variations on my facebook page: rethreadsnz.

This Scoody is a medium weight wool. It is not as soft around the neck as some of the merino scoodies, but if you can handle a slightly courser feel, you will be richly rewarded by the luxurious long hood and cool pattern. These patterned sweaters date from around the 1980's and don't come up so much any more.

The main colour is navy, with cherry red, light brown, forest green, and light blue pattern work.

Measurements:
Length of Hood: 67cm
Depth of Hood: 25cm
Length of Scarves: 64cm (from front of hood)
