So shall we hop to the pattern? Remember that you can see the free pattern below, or you can grab the printable, PDF from Etsy HERE (If you’re a Mamas Maker Member, you can grab the printable in the library HERE)įeaturing various textures and chunky fabric, this hoodie is toasty This makes it easier for new knitters! Even the hood is knit by making a long rectangle, folding and seaming to attach it to the cardigan. You’ll knit this flat (unless you choose to knit the sleeves in the round), by making several rectangles and then seaming each piece together. But again, you can sub any #6 yarn that you like or that you can get your hands on in your area.

Usually I’ll suggest the Lion Brand Hometown USA as it’s a super bulky 100% acrylic that could work.

I often get the question as to what yarn you can sub if you don’t like wool. And no worries if you can’t use wool! You can easily substitute the yarn with any super bulky #6 that you like. It’s a wool blend, yet it’s soft and washable. As many of you know, Wool Ease Thick & Quick is a go-to yarn for me. This hoodie is the warmest of all of my cardigans as it’s not only got the cozy hood, it’s also made with a super bulky wool blend. I wear cardigans so often in the winter months, and the design possibilities are endless! I’m sort of on a cardigan designing kick, and apparently we like them chunky (recently, I shared the Moonbow Slouchy Knit Cardigan, and you might remember the Coziest Cable Cardigan as well). It’s also got a lot of different stitches, so it’s super stitchy! ? Deep thoughts by Jessica, lol. I named this sweater the “Tierra Stitchy Hoodie” because “tierra” means earth or land in Spanish and this is just an earthy, cool, sweater. ? And seriously, is there anything cozier than a hood? ?Īs usual, you can see the free pattern below, or you may choose to purchase the ad-free printable version from Etsy HERE, or the kit from Lion Brand Yarn (choose any color!) HERE. So while it’s made of simple shapes (mostly rectangles), it will keep you interested as you move through the different stitches. This easy hoodie knitting pattern is a lot of fun because it features a variety of stitches and textures. I had to get one more chunky, warm, sweater in before we head into spring and start making warm weather pieces.
