Amy Herzog’s Sweater Sourcebook
Is there anything more comfortable, familiar, and throw-it-on-all-the-time than a hoodie? This one features a zipper opening, kicky ribbed details, and simple I-cord edgings. I’ve worked it up in a soft, hardwearing heathered wool and a more bodyconscious fit, but it would look equally great worn oversize and cozy. The sleeve and body ribbing continues into the raglan shaping, highlighting this construction feature. (Variation idea: Add kangaroo patch pockets to the fronts!) Jump Shot is worked in pieces from the bottom up, and then seamed for stability. The hood is picked up and added from the neckline; it is worked flat until the top, at which point the stitches are folded in half and joined using a 3-needle bind-off. After the hood is complete, I-cord is used to make facings for a zipper.

NOTES
If your size gives the number 0 for a particular instruction, skip that instruction and proceed to the next instruction. Unless otherwise specified, raglan decreases should be worked to match the slant of the edge being shaped, as follows:
For leftslanting edges: [K1, p1] twice, ssk, knit to end; for right-slanting edges: knit to last 6 sts, k2tog, [p1, k1] twice. Increases should also be worked to match the slant of the edge being shaped, as follows:
For right-slanting edges: On RS rows, k1, M1R, knit to end on; WS rows, p1, M1PR, purl to end. For left-slanting edges: On RS rows, knit to last st, M1L, k1; on WS rows, p1, M1PL, purl to end.
