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.
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.
