Polka Dot Hoodie - Downloadable Chunky Knitting Pattern

£7.50 £0.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Polka Dot Hoodie is designed to be a cosy, warm and comfy piece to throw on with jeans and a tee when the temperature drops. The contrast trim and chunky bobbles keep it looking fun and modern, while the hood and fit are practical and stylish.

The Polka Dot Hoodie is constructed seamlessly from hem to underarms, and the sleeves are knitted seamlessly in the round. A step-by-step photo tutorial is included for working the contrast bobble stitch. Not a fan of the contrast colours? Not a problem! The bobbles and rib can be worked in the same shade as the body for a subtle effect.
