The Lillebjörn elephant hood is a cute and practical hood with bear ears, which can be knitted with or without a neckpiece. The hood is knitted both in the round and back and forth, and shaped with short rows. The hood is knitted in merino and mohair, but the ribbing around the face is knitted in two strands of merino to avoid the mohair yarn hairs in the child's face.
