Hoodies with a modern look
Most people find that hoodies have a more youthful look compared to traditional knitted sweaters. Therefore, hoodies are often more sought after by younger men who care about their clothing and like to stay stylish.
If you know a young man who might appreciate a hoodie, we highly recommend showing him our free patterns for inspiration. Hopefully, there's a pattern that suits his taste. Then, you can choose the yarn together to ensure it's the perfect color.
Predicting fashion trends can be tricky, but you can never go wrong with a stylish hoodie.
Choosing yarn for hoodies
All our hoodie patterns are free, and you can freely download them. We recommend yarn for all our patterns, but it's also important to consider the different benefits of yarn qualities.
If your goal is to make a warm hoodie, you should choose yarn with a high wool content. If the hoodie should be more temperate, it's important to find yarn that contains cotton. You can also choose to make a hoodie in pure cotton yarn, but be prepared for it to be relatively heavy. That's why we generally recommend a yarn quality that is a blend of wool and cotton.
Mayflower's wool yarn is of high quality, which means it doesn't itch. Our Mayflower Easy Care wool yarn is also superwash-treated, so it can be washed in the washing machine and tumble dried.
