Cozy hoodie

THIS UNISEX FIT HOODIE is made using a machine-washable, merino wool, silk, cashmere blend yarn for extra coziness. The yarn comes in a variety of colors, so choose the color you’d like to work with. Or, try a similar, variegated yarn. Just be sure to knit a gauge square and alter your needle size if necessary to make sure your finished hoodie will fit correctly.
