Linnea combines the cozy coverage of a hood with the ease of a scarf, creating a practical accessory with a little extra personality. Designed to keep you warm while adding an interesting layer to your outfit, it's a fresh alternative to your usual cold-weather accessories.
The simple silhouette makes it easy to wear, while your choice of fabrics can take it in all kinds of directions.
The three-piece hood creates a shaped fit that sits comfortably around the head, while a long tie extending from the side of the hood ties at the neck to help secure it in place. Fully lined for a polished finish on both sides, Linnea looks considered from every angle.
One of the best things about Linnea is how much room it leaves for personal expression. Choose a classic wool for a timeless cold-weather accessory, try a textured bouclé for added dimension, or experiment with color and print to make it a standout piece. A contrasting lining adds another opportunity to play with pattern and color, giving even a simple, understated version a thoughtful finishing touch.
Fabric and Fit
For the main fabric, choose a medium- to heavyweight material with enough body to give the hood structure and provide warmth. Canvas, denim, twill, melton wool, cashmere, bouclé, and boiled wool are all good options. For a more technical, sporty look, consider Supplex or Cordura nylon.
The lining is a chance to introduce a contrasting color, print, or texture. Lightweight woven fabrics such as quilting cotton, cotton lawn, acetate, rayon, or silk work well. A smooth lining allows the hood to sit comfortably, while a playful print or unexpected color can make the inside just as interesting as the outside.

Fitting Tips
Because Linnea is worn around the head and neck, head circumference is the most useful measurement when choosing a size. Measure around the fullest part of the head, just above the ears and across the forehead, and compare your measurement with the pattern's size chart.
