wrapup hoodie

Hooded Cardigan with pockets 

This is the knitted version of your favorite hoodie—made in pieces, it’s got a roomy fit and drop-shoulder construction to keep it casual and comfortable, with big functional slant pockets and neat garter edgings. Waist shaping makes for a flattering fit. The seams add structure and long-term durability to the hoodie, so you can wear it for years. Contrasting stripes along the front and hood edgings add just enough interest while keeping this piece versatile and wearable.
