In this step by step sewing tutorial you’ll learn how to make your own long open cardigan/sweater with a hood on it! I love these types of open hooded sweaters because they’re great for layering and they’re very cozy and comfortable! I break the process down into easy and clear steps to show you how to make this piece of outerwear. You won’t need any fancy patterns or downloads - you’ll just need this video, your fabric, and a hoodie or sweater with a hood on it to use as a template.

MATERIALS NEEDED:
-2 or more yards of a stretch sweater knit fabric - I used 2 to make my sweater which was probably between a size L or XL, so you may want more if you want a larger size or longer sweater.
-A hoodie or sweater with a hood on it to use as a template - use a fitted template if you want a fitted cardigan, or use a looser template if you like a less fitted cardigan to really wrap up in!
-See through piece of paper - tissue paper or tracing paper both work great!
-Basic sewing supplies - scissors, thread, ball point needle, sewing machine, tape measure, pins, marker, etc.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
In the video I show you how to use a sweater/hoodie as a guide to cut out your cardigan by folding up the sweater to cut out the bodice, and then using tracing paper to trace the shape of the sleeve and hood to create really simple patterns to cut out those pieces. You’ll learn how to sew everything together and hem the raw edges, plus I give you my tips for sewing with a stretchy sweater knit fabric.
