Pattern Notes
The hoody is knitted in one piece to the armholes, the Fronts and Back are then worked separately to the shoulder. The sleeves are then picked up from the armholes and knitted down to the cuffs, thus minimising the finishing required. I used the long-tail cast-on method unless otherwise specified.
