Mesa Hoodie

Introducing the Mesa Hoodie, the third installment in our beloved series of knitting patterns. This stylish cropped hoodie features beautifully designed cable panels that adorn the front, back, and sleeves, adding a unique texture and visual interest. The cable panel on the back elegantly continues up along the hood, creating a cohesive look that is sure to impress.

The Mesa Hoodie is worked in the round from the bottom up, which allows for a seamless finish and an enjoyable knitting experience. Designed with bust shaping, this cropped hoodie offers a more flattering fit that complements a variety of body types. For those who prefer a longer silhouette, we provide detailed instructions for a standard length straight version as well.

Once you reach the bottom of the armholes, the instructions guide you to divide the front and back pieces. Each section is then worked separately up to the shoulders, featuring innovative German short-row shaping that ensures a perfect fit. You will join the pieces using our signature Norwegian-inspired cable-like bind-off at the shoulders, similar to the technique used in the popular Tor pattern, making this hoodie both sophisticated and stylish.

The sleeves of the Mesa Hoodie are crafted in the round, starting from the cuff and working all the way up. Once you reach the sleeve cap, you will work back and forth for easy shaping. This technique provides a wonderful fit and ensures your sleeves have that polished look you desire.

To complete the hoodie, the hood is expertly constructed from stitches picked up along the neck. Additional stitches are cast on at each end of the hood, which will overlap when you finish for a snug and stylish closure. To shape the top of the hood for a comfortable fit, stitches are decreased as you progress, effectively joining the center panel with the stitches on either side.

This Mesa Hoodie knitting pattern is perfect for knitters looking to challenge themselves and create a unique piece that can transition seamlessly between seasons. Whether you are gifting it to a friend or adding it to your own wardrobe, the Mesa Hoodie is sure to be a favorite! Download our free or premium pattern today and start your next knitting project!
