An elastane mix fabric will prevent your hoodie from going baggy during wear.

- For main body stable knit fabric 175cm

Sizing
It is vitally important, when sewing your own clothes, to take accurate measurements of your body, and not rely on the sizing you expect to buy on the high street. For this pattern we have opted to use sizing XS-XXL, which approximately covers UK sizes 8-24. Measure yourself first to choose the right size for you!
