If this is your first time crocheting a hoodie sweater, make sure you pick the right yarn for your project (see our guide to the best yarn for sweaters), make a gauge swatch to esure you make the correct size, and finish your sweater with a yarn needle for seaming (such as at the shoulder seam). Crocheted hoodies are not as hard as you might think, and easy crochet hoodies can make perfect beginner projects!
For more experienced crocheters, you can find hoodies with more advanced techniques in our list of free crochet hoodie patterns.
