Jessy Hoodie

*I used Rico Essentials Soft Merino Aran. If you purchase from this link, I will earn a small commission and can continue creating my patterns. Your support means the world to me! See chart below for approximately how much yarn you will need.*A note about this yarn* Though it is classified as an aran yarn, it is much closer to a DK/ LIGHTWEIGHT 3. If you are not using the suggested yarn, I would use DK/LIGHTWEIGHT 3 with a 5mm hook OR use Aran/Worsted weight yarn with a 4mm hook when you gauge swatch.

Construction

This is a raglan style cardigan and is worked from the top down. The hood is added and then each sleeve.

Fit

The cardigan is meant to be oversized and worn as a jacket with clothes underneath. It should fit with a positive ease of about 4-7 inches around the chest. If you would like the jacket to be fitted, I would size down.
