Basic long-sleeve hoodie sewing pattern.
This is a simple hoodie pattern designed for knit fabric.
It is suitable as a base pattern when making hoodies.
You can use it as it is for everyday wear, or you can adjust it to your own style—for example, using ribbing for the hem and cuffs, or adding a drawstring to the hem or hood.
The hood is designed with a facing, which makes it easy to sew because the facing encloses the edges.
An open-end zipper can also be sewn easily by placing it between the facings.
After printing, align the joining lines, tape the pages together, and cut out the pattern. The seam allowances are already included, so you can use the pattern as is.
