DESCRIPTION
Need a hoodie to cozy up in during a beach bonfire? Already prepping for cooler temps for fall? The Cable Crush Hoodie is the perfect fit. Cropped, with a batwing-esque design, this pattern is a bottom-up sweater that has plenty of ease to cuddle up in. Tighter at the bottom, it gradually increases through the torso with roughly 10-27” of positive ease at the widest part (different sizes have different amounts of ease due to them all landing at an elbow-to-elbow wingspan), giving a super roomy and boxy like shape. But the real stunners of this piece are the cables that adorn both the front and back, and the oversized hoodie that’s matched perfectly with a rounded top and an icord drawstring.

Pattern details: Knit bottom up, this piece starts at your waist and gradually increases all while being worked in the round.

This pattern is written in 9 sizes, XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) so be sure to follow the correct size throughout. Highlighting or circling the instructions for the size you’re following is helpful and encouraged. The model pictured is wearing the size M and is 5’7”, 148 pounds, and has a bust of 36.5” in circumference, for reference.
