Construction Notes
This cozy hoodie is knit seamlessly from the bottom up, beginning with the sleeves, then the body. They are joined at the underarms and worked together while the armholes and sleeve caps are shaped. The shoulders are joined with a three-needle bind-off, then the back cable panel continues up the hood. The hood has some increasing and short-row shaping so it has a great fit around your head. The neckband stitches are picked up around the opening and worked in k1, p1 ribbing while joining to the front neck bind-off as it is being knit.
