Step 1 ยท Measurements

Enter hoodie measurements and construction choices

All values are centimetres. Chest, hips, bicep, and wrist are body circumferences before ease. Sleeve length runs from the side neck over the shoulder to the wrist.

Choose a starting fit

A preset changes construction ease and proportions, not your body measurements. You can edit every value afterwards.

Before generating

How these inputs affect this pattern

Use the notes below to understand which measurements shape the draft, which options change construction, and what should be measured again when values conflict. Presets are starting points; the submitted values drive the result.

Fabric

Choose knit fabric before choosing ease

Stable sweatshirt fleece, French terry, and ponte need different room from highly elastic jersey. Compare the generated finished chest with a hoodie that moves well in a fabric of similar stretch and weight.

Hood

A two-piece hood has its own fit

Height affects head coverage; depth affects how far the opening projects. Neither number can predict vision, hair volume, or drawstring behaviour, so baste the hood before finishing the neckline.

Rib

Treat rib as a material test

Cuffs and waistband are drafted as component dimensions, but rib recovery varies widely. Make a short sample, then adjust rib length only after checking its stretch and rebound.
