Save $3 when purchasing the Totally Biased Collection (The Hoodie; The Cardi; and, The Summer Top)

Totally Biased: The Hoodie is the third in a trio of related designs created to flatter a woman’s curves. The bias of the fabric creates deep V-s in front and back. These V-s along with dramatic waist shaping highlight an hourglass figure (or create the effect of an hourglass if it’s not naturally occurring)!

The Hoodie is made with the amazingly affordable Brava Worsted. It buttons at the front and has a cute hood. This variation is particularly cozy without the sloppiness of a baggy hooded sweatshirt. The Hoodie is wonderful in a solid color–but crazy fun when when made in stripes, too!

Each garment in the Totally Biased collection comes in a wide range of sizes (XS to 5X) and can be worked to any length. They are worked entirely in garter stitch–which (in my humble opinion) is the very best stitch to use when color comes out to play. Whether your yarn has long, gently changing swaths of color, is hand-painted, dappled, or if you’re simply creating stripes from your stash of remnants–garter stitch will make the colors pop!

The Hoodie uses the following techniques: provisional cast on, directional increases and decreases; short rows; working in the round; Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off; and, grafting.
