Construction Notes:

Boum Boum is a reversible hood; constructed with alternating 2-color Garter stitch. Started with a Turkish Figure-8 cast on, work continues flat and top-down with increases in the middle of the work, then continues straight until the neck. Stitches are bound off in the middle and work is divided into 2 pieces. Both tails are worked seperately with decreases at start.

Instead of 2 colors, this hood can be worked with 1 color to have a solid color hood.
