The Elm Street Hoodie is a crop-top drop-shoulder hoodie knit from the bottom-up, in one piece. The pattern features bold striping and fine details such as doubled-over hems to create a comfortable but stylish athleisure piece that fits with any wardrobe. The design is inspired by a crop top worn by a young Johnny Depp in the original Nightmare on Elm.

Your pattern purchase comes with 1) a coloring sheet to help you pick out a color scheme, 2) the full knitting pattern, and 3) a tester gallery so that you can see the hoodie on different bodies at different levels of positive ease.
