Straboy
Hoodies are wonderfully versatile garments; snug and cozy with a laid-back, contemporary style. This pattern has a uniquely Irish take on the modern hoodie. Styled with a casual feel, this hoodie makes great use of traditional cable panels but is also suitable for even a modern Irish surfer after a cold day on the winter waters.
Knit from the bottom up in the round body and sleeves are joined at the yoke and raglan decreases are worked.
