This stunning Nordic hoodie, designed for the modern Icelandic princess, features exquisite stranded colorwork, a charming cabled button band, and convenient kangaroo pockets. Perfect for chilly weather, this fitted hoodie combines style and functionality, making it a must-have addition to any knitting enthusiast's wardrobe.

The pattern guides you through crafting this beautiful piece in one piece from the bottom up to the underarms, then separating the body for short-row shoulder shaping. The project continues upward to create a cozy, shaped hood, while the set-in sleeves ensure a flattering fit. Not only is this hoodie visually striking, but it's also designed for comfort and ease of movement.

Knitting gauge is crucial for this project, with a recommended 21 stitches and 28 rows equating to 4 inches (or 10 cm) in stockinette stitch. This gauge ensures that your finished hoodie achieves the right dimensions and drape, providing the perfect fit for everyday wear.

This pattern is ideal for knitters looking to enhance their skills, as it involves chart reading, stranded knitting, purling, and working with cables. Whether you're an intermediate or advanced knitter, you'll enjoy the challenge and satisfaction of creating a stunning piece of clothing.
