Pattern notes
This hoody is knitted from the bottom up with 4 cabled panels worked over the front and back. Beginning with 2x2 rib between the panels, the body is worked in the round to the underarms, then divided. The upper back is worked separately, and shoulder and neck stitches are set aside. The front is then worked to match the back length, with front neck stitches set aside and each side shaped separately. After the two shoulders are joined with a three needle bind off, stitches are picked up around each armscye, and sleeves are worked top down and in the round. Finally, a hood is worked by picking up stitches from the back and neck shaping, with the addition of two small cable panels across each front edge. The top of the hood is shaped and closed with a three needle bind off and the hood opening is completed with a neat i-cord bind off.
