When I spied the chunky knit hood in JW Anderson’s Pre-Fall lookbook in February top, I posted that it would one day be mine. It’s actually a hood and snood combo where each can be worn separately. I have both the grey and white winging their way to me.

After 20 years casting models for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and fashion shows, I wanted to spend more time with my daughters. KiC is my way to share my thoughts on fashion and style. I believe style should permeate every aspect of our lives — from home, to family, to where we go, and naturally, what we wear — especially when we're just running around.

Knitting inspiration, time to get out the needles!
Thank You
This is such a fabulous concept. I am always cold and love the idea of some contrast against my all black winter coats. The knit texture provides a unique, homemade feel, too. Marcheline Isabelle
When you first posted this, I wanted it immediately as I have a charcoal gray cashmere convertible hood from Barney’s that is similar. It’s the same one Carrie had in the Sex and the City movie. Boy do I miss Barney’s. They had the best women’s accessories ever! I’m going to try this one too. I hope it’s not itchy.
JW Anderson provided official knitting instructions to the colorblock patchwork “Harry Styles”cardigan after many knitters posted unofficial instructions on the internet. I suspect that the chunky knit hood that you have pictured may be subject to a similar phenomena. It’s all garter stitch, so even a beginner could make it. It is very attractive and practical accessory!
Hello, that’s a lovely idea. I’m also entranced by the raincoat. It’s scalloped design reminds me of a sunflower. Is that coat still in season?
Thanks so very much!
@rebecca oh that would be amazing!
Ruth, the coat is part of the same PF21 collection and should be out now.
That is the coolest idea! The grey is beautiful and perfect for adding to coats of all kinds. No rationalization necessary!
Do you know if this is itchy? SO chic
I will wear a turtleneck underneath, it’s a bit itchy.
