The Tender Hoodie is a super-cozy hoodie, with some simple seamless pockets. This is the perfect sweater to curl up with a cup of tea and a good book. The hood has some beautifully comfortable shaping that fits nicely around your head. Like the other sweaters in this chapter, the textured leaf pattern can be interchanged with any of the others, making this sweater uniquely your own. Or, if you’re more on the busty side, the Stockinette stitch body lends perfectly to adding some bust dart shaping (see page 112).
