BONBEC by Emilie Luis is a removable hood that protects the neck and head from the cold and dresses up a jacket or coat.
It is knitted from bottom up seamless in St st. We pick up stitches to form a slide and pass a knitted cord in i-cord.
This is the accessory that will complete your outfit in addition to keeping you warm.
