Harper Hoodie Knitting Pattern - 8Ply (BC52)
A cosy textured hoodie designed for both boys and girls, combining timeless styling with practical everyday comfort. Featuring a garter stitch yoke, drop shoulders and subtle rippled knit-and-purl edges, this versatile cardigan is perfect for layering throughout the cooler months.
Worked flat in separate pieces, the cardigan features smooth stocking stitch complemented by a textured garter stitch yoke and garter stitch front bands. The relaxed drop-shoulder construction creates an easy fit, while the hood and three-button front provide a warm, comfortable finish.
Photographed in 8 Ply Merino, a soft, durable yarn that creates a warm fabric with beautiful stitch definition for the textured details.
