Clover is a dropped shoulder hoodie in cropped or waist length. The style lines are slightly reminiscent of the 80’s (and I’m well acquainted with those years). Choose to use the curved style lines or keep the whole thing simple without piecing. The long sleeve is cinched in at the wrist with a cuff to match the cuffing both at the waist hem and around the hood opening. An optional zippered pocket can be added for a spot to stick little Lego people or some money for the movies. The short and the mid-length sleeves makes this appropriate for different temperatures.

Recommended Fabrics: Medium weight knit fabrics with a minimum 25% horizontal stretch and some structure are recommended. Cotton Lycra, french terry, brushed sweat fabric and more. Heavy-weight knits can also be used, however consider the bulk in the seams and choose according to your sewing comfort level.
Hood Lining - When choosing to line the hood, it is highly recommended to use very lightweight knit fabrics to ensure that the hood does not become too heavy. It is also suggested to include the lining on the bodice to help balance the added weight to the hood.
Cuffing - Quality rib knit fabrics with good recovery are recommended for the cuffs, hem and hood trim. Regular knits can be used.
Optional Notions:
- Tricot/knit interfacing for the sleeve pocket
- 1/4” double-sided, wash-away adhesive tape
- One 5-7” zipper
- Premade cuffing
