DETAILS
I love hoodies and I wanted a handknit one that I could wear pretty much anywhere doing pretty much anything. I wanted it to be fashionable and effortlessly cool but also practical, warm, and cozy. I was also so motivated to find a way to create a big and relatively structured hood with knitting. This pattern is everything I hoped for and I am so excited to share it with you!
