Description

This pattern is available in English and in French as a digital download.

The Stripetastic Hoodie by Maxim Cyr is a modern hoodie design featuring reverse stockinette stripes for added texture and depth. Beginning at the collar with a provisional cast-on, it is worked seamlessly from the top down. The wide raglan bands define the shaping lines, adding interest to the relaxed silhouette. The neckline is then picked up to work a fully lined hood, finished with a neat and polished drawstring.
