Knitting pattern for a hooded sweater.
If you are into cables and braids, this is the sweater to knit.

Set in some rustic buttons to get the genuine Viking look for the boys or use a feminine colour of yarn and buttons to make it girlish.

The hoodie is worked topdown. For start you work back and forth on the circular needle, then joining the work below the front band. The body is worked in the round.
