The North Sea Hoodie is an instant classic drawing on Celtic/Viking and Canadian influences to create a piece that is both enchanting and engaging! This hoodie is knit from the top down and will draw you in to its twisting and knotted cable patterns as you wind your way through this thoughtfully constructed hooded pullover. This timeless design features one-piece, top-down construction, a two-clasp placket, and is appealing and wearable by everyone thanks to its unisex sizing!
Notes: Garment is worked from the top of the hood downward. First in rows, back and forth on a circular needle, and then joined in the round during the yoke shaping. Body and sleeves are worked in the round. The pocket is separated from body and worked in rows, then rejoined to body and worked in rounds. The hood and pocket edges are self finishing, with a garter and slip stitch border.
