Can I Use A Different Yarn Weight?

How Do I Crochet This Hoodie?
You will craft this garment in two panels, for which you will join two sleeves. Both front and back panels start with a wide ribbing and elegant slits on the sides after sewing. The last step involves making the hood. To give it a store-bought look, it’s finished with a single crocheted trim and cord.
This comfy crochet sweater with a hood will make a nice piece of clothing to wear at home, beach, or at the campfire!
