{"product_id":"cozy-up-hood-pdf-pattern","title":"Cozy Up Hood PDF Pattern","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003eCold days have got nothing on you.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe sweetest little knit sewing pattern you ever did see. The Cozy Up Hood is a crossover between a traditional balaclava and a modern hood, designed to pull on over your head. Your fabric choice plays a huge role in the final look, from super fitted and snug to oversized and relaxed, so this headwear piece can fill a wide range of outfit requirements (and warmth needs!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTwo vertical seams run from the face opening down to the neck, shaping the back of the head and sculpting the perfect noggin. Finished with a face trim and bottom band, this pattern is a quick way to get that soft, fuzzy, handknit look without the knitting needles. A simple yet clever construction means no fussing with drawstring buttonholes on your knit fabrics, since the openings are built right into the face trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA self-fabric drawstring adds a little cuteness and flair when tied in a bow, or a slouchy, cool energy when left to hang. Whether it’s chilly and windy and you cinch the hood up tight, or it’s mild and sunny and you wear it down for a little extra warmth around the neck, the Cozy Up Hood is meant to cozy up in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\"\u003eSKILLS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSewing with knits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eOverlock stitching (optional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eZig-zag stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eEdgestitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eCleanly finished knit bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eHandmade drawstring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eButtonhole-free drawstring openings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\"\u003ePATTERN DETAILS\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eDigital pattern files include 3 sizes: small, medium, large\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSkill level: Beginner\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePDF pattern includes illustrated instruction document, A0 copy shop file, print at home file prepared for A4 \u0026amp; letter size paper, and projector file.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMATERIALS NEEDED\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelf fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(your main fabric)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p2\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatching all-purpose thread to your fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOptional:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWooly Nylon thread\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003c\/span\u003eFor upper and lower loopers on a serger\/overlock sewing machine (can also be used in the bobbin of a regular home sewing machine to increase elasticity of stitches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFABRIC REQUIREMENTS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThe Cozy Up Hood is designed for knit fabrics with a minimum stretch percentage that varies by size, measured crossgrain (selvedge to selvedge). Each size is designed for a different style and type of knit, so your fabric choice is closely tied to the size you sew!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSize Small is a slim, close-fitting balaclava designed for high-stretch fabrics with a minimum stretch percentage of 60%. Good recovery is important for this snug fit, so fabrics with some elastane are a great choice. Rib knits, cotton or bamboo spandex jerseys, and merino jerseys will create a smooth, second-skin version that layers easily under a coat hood or helmet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSize Medium is a true crossover style.

Think about your favorite knit winter hat for fabric inspiration! Sweater knits, cable knits, and heavier hacci or brushed knits will create the ultimate version of this hood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIt is recommended to choose a fabric between approximately 6oz and 12oz (200–400gsm), with lighter weights suited to the Small and heavier weights to the Large. Very bulky fabrics may be difficult to sew through at the trims. If you are using a heavier fabric, you may wish to use a lighter-weight rib knit for the face trim and bottom band. This reduces bulk and can make a nice contrast design detail.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eKeep in mind that knit fabrics vary a lot in hand feel, drape, thickness, and recovery, and these traits change how a hood fits around the head and face. Two fabrics in the same size may fit quite differently! This is completely normal for knits. Think about how you want your hood to look and feel and choose your fabric, THEN choose your size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1269\/0272\/files\/Cozy_Up_Hood_Sewing_Pattern_Product_Listing_Assets.jpg?v=1793994784\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSIZE GUIDE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEach size in this pattern gives a different fit, and each is designed for a different type of fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSize Small is a slim, close-fitting balaclava that sits smoothly against the head.

If your head is at the larger end of a size, or your fabric has less stretch than recommended, consider going up a size. If you want a closer fit in a very stretchy fabric, you may prefer to size down. Check your fabric’s stretch before cutting, and use the finished garment measurements to compare the fit of each size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1269\/0272\/files\/Cozy_Up_Hood_Sewing_Pattern_Product_Listing_Assets2.jpg?v=1793994783\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1269\/0272\/files\/Cozy_Up_Hood_Sewing_Pattern_Product_Listing_Assets3.jpg?v=1793994783\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1269\/0272\/files\/Cozy_Up_Hood_Sewing_Pattern_Product_Listing_Assets4.jpg?v=1793994783\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"p1\"\u003eTECHNICAL SKETCH\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1269\/0272\/files\/Cozy_Up_Hood_Sewing_Pattern_Product_Listing_Assets5.jpg?v=1793994783\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IZZIE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67746895429728,"sku":"COZY-UP-HOOD","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1269\/0272\/files\/Izzie_Sewing_Pattern_Cozy_Up_Hood_Red_Wool_Large_Front_Jacket_4b318b5a-f668-4f2a-bb5d-e91fd9bcbf28.jpg?v=1794067113","url":"https:\/\/houseofizzie.com\/products\/cozy-up-hood-pdf-pattern","provider":"Izzie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
