Happy At Home Hoodie Pattern

It’s finally here! The Happy At Home Hoodie has been anticipated by so many of you and i’m so excited to release it. Sometimes you just have a design in mind that comes together exactly how you wanted it to and this was one of them! I pictured an oversized hoodie with wide ribbing and a soft lightweight feel. The slits on the side somehow make it even better than I imagined. 

I used Lion Brand Coboo to make this hoodie. It’s one of my all time favorite yarns! You can check out The Bobble Crop Top which I made using Coboo. I also have some other designs coming soon using it!

I hope the Happy At Home Hoodie pattern brings you some much needed crochet therapy while we are all quarantined to our homes. It brought me so much joy to make and I know this will be one of my pieces i’m most proud of for years to come. Please tag me in your wips and finished photos of your hoodie on Instagram so I can share the happiness! Use #happyathomehoodie so I can see!

Seam Together-

Front and back panel (view photo 1)-

Lay your front and back panel together, correct sides facing. Using the long tail, seam the first shoulder together at Row 63(65,67,71,73) working through both panels. Repeat on other side. I like to Sl St with my hook through outer loops only to join or use a needle and mattress stitch across.

Sleeves (view photo 2)-

Lay your front and back panel (now joined) down in front of you, correct sides facing the ground. Line up the last row of your first sleeve so that the shoulder seam of your top is directly in the center. Use stitch markers to hold its place. Sl St or mattress St to join. Do not pull your stitches too tight or it will begin to “pucker.”

Repeat on other side.

Cord:

Ch 251, 1 Sl St in second Ch from hook and each Ch across. (250 Sl St)

Tie off.

Sew Trim/ Thread Cord:

Fold the hood trim over onto the outside of your hood. (Note- lay your cord down now and work the seam “over” it so you don’t have to thread it in later. Using the long tail and a yarn needle stitch row 4 of the trim to the outside of your hood, creating an open tube. Thread/move the cord threw as you go.

Weave in all ends.

I hope you guys love the Happy At Home Hoodie pattern as much as I do! It was such a blast to make and one of my favorite designs ever!
