Hannah: FreeSewing's Hannah Hoodie

Designer Notes

Hannah is a relatively fitted hoodie pattern with optional support for fitting curvy bodies and larger busts, bums and bellies and different sleeve style options.

Hannah is based on Toni Top and the hood from Hugo and Yuri.

What You Need

To make Hannah, you will need the following:

  • Basic sewing supplies
  • About 2 meters (2.2 yards) of a suitable fabric (see Fabric options)
  • Ribbing fabric for the hem and cuffs
A serger/overlock is nice, but optional

As with all knitwear and stretch fabrics, a serger/overlock will make your life easier. If you do not have one of those, don’t despair. You don’t really need it. All serged seams on Hannah can also be sewn with a short, narrow zigzag stitch (~2 mm wide) on a standard sewing machine.

Fabric Options

You can use both winter and summer sweat to make Hannah. As you would expect, summer sweat is a bit thinner and cooler than winter sweat.

Sweat is a and doesn’t fray, but it can curl up around cuts a bit.
