- +Preparation
- Sizing – Sizing is different in different countries and stores, so please measure your model before picking your size. The ready-to-wear size your model normally fits into may be different from our size chart.
- Picking your size – Choose your size using the chest measurement from the size chart. As this is a very loose fitting garment it is unlikely that you will need to grade for your waist and hip if they are in a different size.
- Height adjustment – The Hoodie Blanket is drafted for a height of 5 foot 10 inches. If your height is above or below 5 foot 10, cut through center of the Front, Back and Bands and shorten/lengthen as needed. If you are adding sleeves, extend the shoulder from the last notch by the same measurement you are adjusting the height by.
- Sleeve:
- Length – This sleeve is meant to have a scrunched look. If you prefer it to be shorter, add/remove length in the middle of the Sleeve.
- Bicep adjustment – Check your bicep measurement in the chart above. If you need to add into the bicep of the Sleeve, follow our free tutorial.
- Muslin – To ensure you get the best fit, sew a muslin to check the fit. A muslin is a test version of the pattern in an inexpensive fabric.
- Use an inexpensive knit fabric similar in weight to the final fabric you plan to use.
- Cut out the Front, Back, 1x Sleeve, and Cuff. Label each piece with tailors chalk / fabric pen so you know what each piece is.
- Baste these together using a ⅜ inch seam allowance
- Try on. If you are happy with the fit, continue to your final garment.
- If you feel the fit needs adjusting for your personal shape, turn the muslin inside out and try on again. Adjust the seams with pins until you are happy.
- Trim your new seam allowances to ⅜ inch and pull out your basting stitches.
- Use these bits of fabric as your pattern pieces instead of the original pattern pieces. Continue to sew your final garment.
- Make sure to keep your adjusted pattern pieces in case you wish to make more!
- If you get stuck with fitting, see our favorite resources on our Pinterest Sewing Fitting Advice board
- OPTIONAL clear elastic – ¼ or ⅜ inch to provide additional support to the shoulder seams. 3 yards will be sufficient for all sizes.
- Thread to match
- Use a ball point needle of a size appropriate to your fabric when working with knits – The ball point needle has a slightly rounded tip and will prevent from damaging the fibre. Use ball point pins or clips and, if you can’t, use regular pins into the seam allowance and you should be just fine.
- Use a stretch stitch – You can use either a short and narrow zigzag or a stretch stitch (lightning bolt stitch) for construction. Test on a scrap of fabric to find which stitch and tension settings work best for you. You don’t want the fabric to pucker under your stitches.
- Your machine might have many fancy stretch stitches and you are welcome to play with them, but often the basic zigzag or stretch stitch are just right.
- Use a walking foot – Using a walking-foot is not a necessity but it is highly recommended when working on a stretchy knit. The walking-foot helps to prevent one layer of fabric from stretching out while sewing. Both layers of fabrics are fed at the same time under your needle.
- Reduce your presser foot tension – Some machines will allow you to change your presser foot tension. Check your manual to see how to reduce your presser foot tension. Reducing tension will prevent your fabric from stretching while it goes through the machine.
- Use a ball point twin-needle (double needle) for top stitching – Using a twin-needle will give you a regular double line of straight stitches on the right side and a short and stretchy zigzag on the wrong side. Alternately, if you don’t own a twin needle, you can use a medium size zigzag stitch for hemming and topstitching. I like to lengthen my stitch a little when top stitching with the twin needle. Test on a scrap of fabric to find what works best for you.
- Finishing the seams – Because knits don’t fray, it isn’t strictly necessary to finish your seams. That being said, you will achieve a more polished and durable look if you do an overcasting or zigzag stitch on your raw edges.

This is a very loose fitting hoodie with a deep hood and extra-long sleeves.
Materials and ToolsMaterials & Tools
Your hoodie can be made in a variety of types of fabric. A cozy stretch/knit fabric of any weight. A fluffy woven fabric. Whatever makes you happy and is wide enough to cut your size. If using a 4-way knit fabric, check length before hemming as it is likely to grow.
A lighter weight fabric will drape more than a heavier weight. Great examples are textured knit, sweater knits, medium weight jersey, ponte, scuba, stretch velour, French terry, fleece, flannel, and cuddle fabrics.
NOTE – The Hoodie Blanket is a great project to use thrifted quilts and blankets, or to upcycle loved blankets that are ready for a new life.
TIP – If you are using a textured knit, especially a cable knit, they may seem smaller in width. Let it hang, then steam it and let it cool before cutting. This should help it expand to its full width.

Printing Your PatternSettings
The pattern is a separate download. Choose either the US letter paper, A4 paper, or A0 paper size based on the printer you wish to use. If you are in the US or Canada then your printer will likely use US letter paper. Other regions normally use A4 paper. Some people prefer to print their patterns at a print shop: A0 is best in this case.
Print at 100%.
On the second page, you will find a 1-inch and a 3-inch square test box. Print this page first, on its own, and measure these squares.
Once you are happy that the test box is accurate, print the rest of the pattern pages.
Please follow this video for information and assistance on assembling this pattern.
Also, please note that some Rebecca Page patterns and projects also come with cut files and a printable design page which you can use to plan your project if you wish. These are provided in a separate section below to avoid any confusion!

Fabric TipsTips for Sewing with Knit Fabrics
Using a serger is not a necessity to sew with knit fabrics! Here are a few tips to get the best results on a regular sewing machine:
Here is an example of some of the stitches you could use.
From left to right: Ballpoint twin-needle, narrow zigzag, stretch stitch (lightning bolt), overcasting
- + Instructions
- PATTERN MARKINGS – Transfer all pattern markings.
- OPTIONAL POCKET – Place both Pocket pieces right sides together, aligning all raw edges. Clip and stitch, leaving a 1- to 2-inch gap along bottom edge. Trim the seam allowance and cut the corners of the Pocket off. Turn the Pocket right side out and press. OPTIONAL: Top stitch across both diagonals only. Matching centers, align bottom edge of Pocket with marking on Front. Top stitch in place along bottom curved edge of curved pocket, or bottom, sides, and top edge of kangaroo pocket. CURVED POCKET – Optionally, add a ½ inch of tacking stitches at the top, center of the Pocket.
- SHOULDERS – Place Front and Back right sides together, aligning the shoulder. Stitch. Repeat on the other shoulder.
- SLEEVE – Right sides together, align sleeve along Hoodie Blanket, matching center mark to shoulder seam and stitch.
- SIDE SEAMS – Align side seam, right sides together, from end of sleeve to hem, and stitch. Repeat for second side.
- HOOD – Right sides together, align and sew back, curved edge of Hood outer. Repeat for Hood lining. Right sides together, align Hood outer to Hood lining along front edge and stitch. Turn right sides out, press, and align bottom, raw edge. Right sides together, match center back of Hoodie Blanket to center back seam of Hood. Match along edge without stretching, overlapping the Hood at center front, and stitch in place.
- OPTIONAL CUFF – Fold the Cuff in half widthwise, right sides together, matching short edges. Stitch. Fold in half lengthwise wrong sides together. Find and mark the quarter points of the Cuff and Sleeve. Align Cuff to end of Sleeve, right sides together, matching raw edges, seams, and quarter points. Stitch. Repeat for the other Sleeve.
- OPTIONAL BAND – Right sides together, align Band Front to Band Back, matching short edges. Stitch. Repeat for second short end. Fold in half lengthwise wrong sides together. Find and mark the center front and back of both Band and Hoodie Blanket. Align Band to bottom of Hoodie Blanket, right sides together, matching raw edges, seams and marked points. Stitch.
- OPTIONAL HEM – Fold sleeve hem ½ inch to wrong side. Topstitch. Repeat for second sleeve and bottom hem.
Quick Glance Cheat Sheet⅜ inch seam allowance included
Preparation –
Sewing –
0 . PreparationSeam Allowance
⅜ inch seam allowance included
0.1Pattern Markings
Transfer all pattern markings to the fabric using a disappearing ink pen or tailor’s chalk.
1 . OPTIONAL PocketSeam Allowance
⅜ inch seam allowance included
1.1Place the Outer Pocket and Pocket Lining pieces right sides together. Pin.
Serge/stitch all the way around the sides and top with a ½ inch seam allowance. Leave a 1- to 2-inch gap along the bottom edge.
TIP – To get a nice sharp corner on the corners, go slowly and put the needle down when you get ⅜ inch from the edge. Then lift your presser foot and rotate the fabric before putting your presser foot down again.
1.2Trim the seam allowance in half and cut the corners of the Pocket off (don’t cut all the way to the stitching, just cut the bulk off so it’s easier when we turn it right way out).
1.3Turn the Pocket right side out and press the seams.
TIP – Push out the corners with a blunt object, like a chopstick, so that there are crisp, sharp edges and corners.
TIP – To ensure a professional and polished look, make sure to press your seams even when sewing sweater-type fabrics. Test on a scrap of fabric first to find out the best temperature for your fabric. If the iron leaves a mark, try using a pressing cloth dampen with water or steam and press on and off until your cloth is dry.
NOTE – Pressing is when you apply pressure with your iron on the fabric repeatedly. Ironing is moving the iron back and forth on the fabric. It is especially important to PRESS knits rather than iron them to prevent your fabric from stretching out.
1.4OPTIONAL Top stitch across both diagonals at ⅛ and ¼ inch from the edge (you can use a twin needle to get a stretch stitch and do both lines of stitching at the same time). Do not stitch all the way to the edge of the diagonal, start and stop approximately ¼ inch from the edges so you can join the stitching when you do the next step.
TIP – For a clean finish, DO NOT backstitch when using a twin needle. Pull the spool threads to the underside and simply tie a knot with the bobbin thread.
TIP – If you do not have a twin needle, you can top stitch using a single zigzag stitch. Test on a scrap to find the length and width working best with your fabric.
1.5Lay the Front piece right sides facing up. Align the Front pattern piece on top of the fabric.
Align the bottom edge of the Pocket with the pocket placement line, centering it on the Front and pin in place.
1.6KANGAROO POCKET – Topstitch the Pocket sides, bottom and top.
CURVED POCKET – Topstitch the curved edge.
OPTIONAL – At the center front of Curved Pocket, stitch from the top edge a ½ inch toward the bottom. This tacking stitch will prevent the pocket from gaping open.
TIP – Stitch slowly here and leave a thread tail at the beginning and end. Once done with stitching, pull the threads from both sides to the underside and tie a knot.
TIP – Alternately, instead of pins, you can use a wash-away double sided tape such as Wonder Tape on the lining side of the pocket. This method is especially helpful if your fabric has a tendency to stretch while top stitching. Not only will it hold the pocket in place, but it will also stabilize your fabric and prevent it from pulling out of shape.
2 . Shoulders2.1Place the Front and Back pieces right sides together, aligning along the shoulder seams. Pin.
TIP – If your fabric is very stretchy or has less recovery, you may want to use a clear elastic to stabilize the shoulder seams to prevent them from stretching out over time with wear. To install the elastic, leave excess elastic on both ends of the seam which can be trimmed later. Pin the elastic without stretching it and incorporate it into the shoulder seam.
2.2Serge or stitch using a ½ inch seam allowance.
2.3Repeat steps 2.1 to 2.2 on the other shoulder seam.
3 . Sleeve3.1Fold the Sleeve in half and mark the midpoint with a pin.
3.2Lay the Hoodie flat, right side facing up.
3.3Place the Sleeve onto the Hoodie, with the right sides together. Align the midpoint on the Sleeve to the shoulder seam and pin together.
3.4Pin the ends of the Sleeve to the ends of the armscye.
3.5Continue pinning the Sleeve to the armscye.
TIP – Use lots of pins to attach the Sleeve and bodice together.
3.6Serge or stitch using a ½ inch seam allowance.
3.7Press the seam allowance towards the Sleeve.
3.8Repeat steps 2.1 to 2.7 to attach the other Sleeve.
4 . Side Seams4.1Place the Front and Back right sides together, matching the side underarm seams.
4.2Serge or stitch using a ½ inch seam allowance.
4.3Repeat steps 4.1 to 4.2 for the other side.
5 . Hood5.1Place the two Outer Hood pieces right sides together. Pin along the outer curved edge.
5.2Serge or stitch using a ½ inch seam allowance and a stretch stitch.
5.3Repeat for Hood Lining.
5.4Turn one Hood piece right side out. Leave one Hood piece wrong side out.
5.5Place Hood Lining and Outer Hood right sides together along the front edge. Pin.
5.6Stitch the front edge together using a ½ inch seam allowance.
5.7Turn Hood right side out. Press.
5.8Match the center back of Hoodie Blanket to the center back seam of the Hood. With the right sides together, pin along the top edge without stretching.
Overlap the Hood at the center front.
5.9Serge or stitch using a ½ inch seam allowance.
6 . OPTIONAL Sleeve Cuff6.1If you are not adding OPTIONAL Cuff and are going to do the OPTIONAL Hem on the Sleeves, skip to step 8. If you are adding OPTIONAL Cuff, follow below.
Fold the Cuff in half widthwise, right sides together, matching short edges. Pin.
6.2Serge or stitch using a ½ seam allowance.
Your Cuff will now form a circle.
6.3Fold your Cuff in half lengthwise wrong sides together.
6.4Find and mark the quarter points of the Cuff. Pin the two layers together.
6.5Find and mark the quarter points of the Cuff. Pin the two layers together.
6.6Place the Cuff over the Sleeve, right sides together, matching raw edges, seams, and quarter points. Pin.
6.7Serge or stitch using a ½ seam allowance.
Repeat steps 6.1 to 6.7 for the other Sleeve.
7 . OPTIONAL Hem Band7.1Align the Front Band and Back Band right sides together, matching the short edges. Pin.
7.2Serge or stitch using a ½ inch seam allowance and a stretch stitch.
7.3Repeat steps 7.1 to 7.2 for the second short end.
7.4Fold the Band in half with the wrong sides together, matching long, raw edges.
Pin at the center front and back, as well as marking the seams.
7.5Find and mark the center front and back of the Hoodie Blanket, as well as the seams.
7.6Slide the Band over the hem, right sides together, matching the quarter points. Pin.
7.7Serge or stitch using a ½ inch seam allowance and a stretch stitch.
7.8Flip the Band down and press the seam allowance down towards the Band.
If you are doing the OPTIONAL Hem, continue to step 8.
Your Hoodie Blanket is now finished!
8 . OPTIONAL Hem8.1Serge or zigzag stitch the raw edges of the Sleeve.
8.2Fold the Sleeve hem ½ inch to the wrong side. Pin.
8.3From the right side, topstitch ⅜ inch from the fold, using a medium size zigzag, stretch stitch, twin needle, or coverstitch.
8.4Repeat steps 8.1 to 8.3 to the other Sleeve as well as bottom hem.

Your hoodie can be made in a variety of types of fabric. A cozy stretch/knit fabric of any weight. A fluffy woven fabric. Whatever makes you happy and is wide enough to cut your size. If using a 4-way knit fabric, check length before hemming as it is likely to grow.
A lighter weight fabric will drape more than a heavier weight. Great examples are textured knit, sweater knits, medium weight jersey, ponte, scuba, stretch velour, French terry, fleece, flannel, and cuddle fabrics.
NOTE – The Hoodie Blanket is a great project to use thrifted quilts and blankets, or to upcycle loved blankets that are ready for a new life.
TIP – If you are using a textured knit, especially a cable knit, they may seem smaller in width. Let it hang, then steam it and let it cool before cutting. This should help it expand to its full width.
