Free pattern: Boys hooded sweatshirt

Shauna from Shwin & Shwin shares a free pattern for making a boys hooded sweatshirt. It’s perfect for fall weather, especially if you make it from a heavyweight knit. Her free pattern fits her 7 year old son. If you need another size, you should be able to size it up for down using a shirt that fits your child as a guide. This would actually work well for girls, too.
