Free Knit Hoodie Pattern

Hood is impossible

The hood is impossible. Can’t figure out how to put it on the sweater. All pieces are blocked. It says to fold in half and sew the back seam. It’s not making sense.

• We apologize for the confusion. The hood seam is the back of the hood, ignoring the sweater entirely. You will seam together the bound of stitches of the hood. Once that has been done, you can pin the sides of the fabric to the neckline of the sweater, and sew the hood to the sweater, leaving the cast on edge of the hood made with seed stitch as the outside edge of the fabric.

Sweet baby cardigan!

Such a sweet little pattern - easy to knit, I found no issues with the pattern. I used a self patterning Caron brand yarn to make one for a friend's new baby, and the yarn 'Ferris Wheel' in denim shades to make a pair of these for a big sister and her new baby sister. I'm just about to start #4 for my newest great niece! When the buttons I bought online for the first one were a bit too large for a baby's jacket, I sewed snaps inside the button bands, and sewed the jungle themed buttons on the front of the button band - problem solved! I saved time by just buying buttons instead of covering others like the pattern suggests. I also altered the little sister's sweater - I was going to run out of yarn, so I left off the hood and used knitted-on I-cord to edge the neck and front edges, and made matching ties and attached those at the top of the neck, so it can be left open - much easier for a young baby!

Disaster.

I had a problem working out how to attach the hood. Am going to pull it apart and try another pattern from elsewhere.

• Sorry to hear that you are having problems with the hood on your Knit Hoodie. In case you want to try and give it another go, maybe this might help. Taking the time to block your pieces before joining them together can make assembling knitted pieces go more smoothly. In case you've never done it before, here is a link to a video about blocking. Even though the video is about crochet, the same principles work for knit fabric as well. https://www.yarnspirations.com/blogs/how-to/video-mb-wet-blocking-and-steam-blocking-acrylic-yarn-crochet-stitch-sampler-baby-blanket-11?_pos=4&_psq=blocking&_ss=e&_v=1.0 If you still want to proceed with this pattern and still need additional help, we're happy to work with you.

What color Bernat cotton yarn is this blue shade

Is there a schematic for the hood? I can’t make necessary adjustments for the yarn I am using without knowing dimensions for each increase, decrease, etc It is a very pretty pattern but requires more information for the knitter. Thank you.
