Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add a hood to any sweater pattern?

Yes! The techniques in this guide can be applied to nearly any neckline. Just take your measurements, choose your hood style, and follow the steps.

Do I need to modify the body of my sweater to add a hood?

No major modifications are required. The guide walks you through picking up stitches or attaching a pre-knit hood to your neckline.

Will this work on a cardigan or only pullovers?

It works beautifully on both! In fact, some hood styles work better on cardigans. The guide shows examples for each.

I’ve never designed anything before - can I really do this?

Yes. The workbook was created with machine knitters in mind, offering fill-in-the-blanks worksheets and diagrams to help you succeed even if you're brand new to garment modifications.

Is the guide part of my Knit It Now membership?
