The Spyro Hoodie is a classic zip-up (or buttoned) hooded sweatshirt, perfect for little adventurers. It’s worked seamlessly from the top down with raglan shaping for a comfortable fit and features German short-row shaping at the neckline. The soft, yet durable DK-weight yarn provides just-right warmth, making it instantly wearable and ready for anything. With its classic lines and snug hood, I designed it to be the trusty companion they reach for, day after playful day.
