Baja Hoodie
Note: People have had questions about the sample gauge. The last photo shows the stitch gauge over 4” on the sample. The gauge given in the pattern is correct and matches the sample gauge.
A handknitted version of the classic surfer sweater of the 1970s, the cotton-merino Baja Hoodie looks great on men and women. The pattern brings four colors of stripes and patterns together in harmony. The V-neck sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up, and it has a front kangaroo pocket!
