This is the Cashmerette Club PDF pattern for September 2022. Not a member yet? Join today at the All Access level to get this pattern!

Ready to be cozy and stylish? The Stanton Hoodie lets you create an athleisure piece that looks smart and feels great, because it's custom-fitted to your body, with cup sizes from C - H! If you have bigger boobs, hoodies often end up uncomfortably tight or sloppy and oversized, but Cashmerette patterns are designed for curves to give you an amazing fit at the bustline AND at the rest of your body.

The Stanton features a pullover and a zip-up version, and both have a curved yoke at the shoulder with the great fit of a set-in sleeve. The roomy pockets let you leave your purse at home and run free. Get playful with color-blocking or go monochrome for a chic look.

Then get even more from your Stanton! The Stanton Hoodie Expansion Pack provides a new neckband and instructions for making your hoodie with a half zip as well as the ability to turn your hoodie into a snuggly sweater dress. These elements can combined to create 5 Stanton Hoodie variations.

This Cashmerette pattern includes:

  • Cup sizes from C to H
  • A “full bicep” sleeve option in sizes 12-32
  • A sizing calculator which will tell you exactly which size to make
  • A beautifully illustrated and detailed instruction booklet, to guide you no matter your sewing level
