Isak Hættetrøje

Isak Hættetrøje is a timeless children’s hoodie featuring a relaxed Scandinavian fit and a beautifully clean finish. Worked from the bottom up in stockinette stitch, it combines classic construction with practical details, making it a comfortable everyday garment for active children.

The body is knitted seamlessly in the round to the armholes before the work is divided for the front and back. The shoulders are joined using a Three-Needle Bind-Off, creating a strong and elegant shoulder seam. Sleeves are picked up around the armholes and worked in the round from the top down. The hoodie is completed with a generously sized hood featuring a neat double front band for extra stability and a polished appearance.

Designed with comfort, durability and simplicity in mind, Isak Hættetrøje is an enjoyable project that results in a warm, modern hoodie children will love to wear.
