Kids Hooded Sweater Knitting Pattern

Knit a Cozy Hooded Sweater for Kids

Finding a sweater warm enough for actual outdoor play, and easy enough to get on a wiggly kid, is harder than it should be. This one solves both.

Worked from the bottom up in simple garter stitch with straightforward raglan shaping, so you can follow the shape as it forms without second-guessing what comes next.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: Sizes 1 to 10 years (chest 11 to 17 inches)

• The button-front hood makes it simple to get on and off an active kid, while keeping ears and neck covered on cold days
• The A-line shape and hood work for boys or girls, in sizes from age 1 up to 10, so it fits a growing kid or makes an easy gift either way
• Built with garter stitch and clean raglan shaping, no charts or colorwork to track, just knit and purl the whole way through

          "My toddler won't take the hood off, even indoors. Worth every bit of the work."
