COS AESTHETIC
this beatnik pattern is originally intended for woven silks and cottons, not unlike “COS” fashions. these styles are definitely also interesting for jersey sewists.
the top is a classic t-shirt shape. but the hood or balaclava is the most memorable piece. its a great all-season accessory in lightweight jersey, as well as perfect in boiled wool for winter.
