Rih

Introducing the Rih Wind Hood, an elegant and functional knitting pattern inspired by the Arabic word for wind, "Rih." This versatile hood, designed for various sizes ranging from infant to large adult, serves as a cozy barrier against chilly winds. The pattern is thoughtfully constructed by knitting from the front edge to the back, and it features a neckband that is picked up at the end, ensuring that no sewing is required for assembly.

The two-color linen stitch employed in this pattern allows you to work one color at a time, creating a gorgeous color variation that's both relaxing and easy to achieve. The use of linen stitch around the neckband enhances the contrast and adds delightful texture, making this hood not only practical but also visually appealing.
