Rib Tickler Hoodie -- the worsted version

**Rib Tickler Worsted-Weight Hoodie Knitting Pattern** Introducing the updated version of my beloved [Rib Tickler][1] hoodie, now available in a cozy worsted weight! Following numerous requests for a lighter option, this easy-to-knit hoodie is perfect for knitters looking for a project that's both fun and functional. This pattern features a seamless design, allowing you to knit in the round from the hem all the way to the underarms, making it quick to complete. The sleeves are also knit in the round, and once they’re done, you simply join everything together to work up to the neck—perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike! The Rib Tickler hoodie showcases an array of ribbing techniques to create a truly unique and textured look. The hem features a bold 6x6 ribbing, which gradually transitions from 4x4 ribbing to 3x3, then down to 2x2, and finally to a delicate 1x1 ribbing for the yoke. The sleeves finish off with a stylish 3x3 rib cuff that can be worn folded or straight, allowing for versatility in style. The cozy hood is the cherry on top, edged with garter stitch that presents a chic 1x1 rib appearance when viewed from the side. **Update:** As of April 13, 2012, I've enhanced the pattern to include a crew-neck option, allowing for additional variation to suit your style preferences. The sample for this lovely hoodie is crafted using Kollage’s Riveting (worsted), which is made from eco-friendly recycled denim in a beautiful Forest Denim hue. This unique yarn not only provides a soft and comfortable feel but also contributes to a stunning finished product that’s sure to turn heads. Whether you're looking to make a new addition to your autumn wardrobe or a thoughtful gift for a loved one, this Rib Tickler Worsted-Weight Hoodie knitting pattern is the perfect choice. Start your knitting journey now and create a cozy, stylish piece that combines comfort with sophistication!
