Be ready for anything (and so stylish to boot!) in this classic hoodie. With a relaxed fit, front pocket, and drawstring hood, this thoughtfully designed pattern is one you’ll want to make over and over.

Construction

Knit flat in pieces, from the bottom up, until hood. Hood is picked up from stitch holders and worked in the round around neck before working back and forth in rows. I-cord is made at end and threaded through the hood as a drawstring. Pocket is worked separately and sewn on.

Accessories

1 pair each 3.25mm and 4.00mm knitting needles and a 4.00mm circular needle, plus 3.25mm DPNs (or i-cord maker) for i-cord, or size needles to give correct tension, 3 stitch-holders.

Techniques you’ll be employing

Make 1 increases, working in the round, picking up stitches, making i-cord.
