The Hoodie Pattern Download
May you be seen and comforted. The hood is made up of 2 sections knit separately and then they are joined at the center back. The overlap at the center front is created while stitches are picked up along the bottom of the hood for the shoulder. This pattern includes 4 mini video classes for the special techniques used in the pattern: the Brioche Stitch, the yarn over increase, the 3-Needle Bind Off, and the Crochet Bind Off. I recommend this pattern to adventurous beginners to intermediate knitters.
