Knitting Kit - Beginners Hoody Cardigan | Anastasia Light

This easy knit hoodie will easily become a casual piece that you will want to pull on over everything all year round and seriously, is there anything better than being able to throw on a hood when you're having a bad hair day?

Can I just say.....it even has pockets!!

The Ananstasia Light Hoodie with its relaxed oversized fit ticks all of the boxes that it's chunky cousin The Anastasia Hoodie does, but as it is knit in lighter Merisilk Aran yarn the merino keeps you warm on cooler days while the addition of silk adds a sumptuous drape to create a truly stylish addition to your handmade wardrobe.

Designed by my friend Hortense at knittingwithchopsticks.com  it is worked flat from the bottom up then split for the armholes. The pattern allows you to create a sleeveless vest version for sunny Spring days or add cosy sleeves for an Autumnal cover up that is perfect for woodland walks.

The hoodie is knitted mainly in stockinette stitch which makes it a great minless Knitflix project if you want to switch off and just let your hands do the talking, but the addition of a beautiful and surprisingly easy lace edging creates a truly stunning cover up for all seasons. 

The warm and stylishly loose hood is the perfect finishing touch for cooler days, or the showers that we have so regularly here in North West England!
