Hoodie Sweater Knitting Pattern A modern hoodie sweater with a relaxed fit and clean, contemporary styling. Available in both cropped and regular lengths, this versatile design features a cosy hood, comfortable ribbed hems and sleeves, making it an easy-to-wear layer for every season. The sweater is worked flat in separate back, front, sleeve and hood pieces before being seamed together. The body is knitted in smooth stocking stitch, while the sleeves are worked in textured rib for added interest. A knitted hood with a ribbed face band completes the design for a practical, stylish finish.
