The Laura Hoodie Kit is a beautiful project for makers who want a contemporary, wearable pullover with a fun, casual finish.
 
Laura is a cropped hooded pullover designed by Francisco Knits, with a drawstring hem, a hood with a knitted drawstring and a relaxed, everyday silhouette. Worked in Chirapa, the yarn's self-striping colourways build the stripe effect automatically as you knit. This means no colourwork and far less ends to weave in. This pattern will give you satisfying progress toward a hoodie that looks fresh and considered.

It is especially suited to makers who love:
Knitted hoodie patterns with a relaxed, everyday silhouette
Garments where the self-striping yarn handles the colour work
Lightweight cotton projects suitable for year-round wear
Competent beginner garment projects with a modern, wearable result
Handmade pieces that feel current and easy to reach for
 
Spun with Purpose
 
Chirapa is a DK weight self-striping yarn spun in Italy from 100% certified organic cotton. Named after the Quechua word for 'rainbow,' it was ethically designed in Peru and brings self-striping colourways that move beautifully through a fabric without any colourwork from the maker.
 
Beyond its practical qualities, Chirapa carries a meaningful story. A portion of every purchase supports the Mirasol School in Peru, providing education and opportunities to the children of alpaca ranchers and textile workers in the Andes.
 
This yarn is:
100% certified organic cotton
self-striping for effortless colour without colourwork
soft, breathable and machine washable
vegan and cruelty-free
spun in Italy
 
Made to Be Made
 
The Laura Hoodie Kit is a beautiful choice for:

Makers who want a cotton garment for year-round wear

If you have been looking for a knitted hoodie pattern worked in a soft, organic cotton yarn with a genuine purpose behind it, the Laura Hoodie Kit is a beautiful one to cast on.
 
Your Next Mindful Make
 
Laura is the kind of project that moves along at a satisfying pace. The steady stockinette rhythm is lifted by the shifting stripes of Chirapa, and the hood and drawstring details give the finishing stages a pleasing sense of completion.
 
It is a perfect choice for makers who want a garment that feels current and considered: approachable to knit and genuinely enjoyable to wear once complete.
