Adult Hoodie?

[PBLKNP]

I originally was going to knit this, but decided I really want to crochet instead...

 

Does anyone know where I can find a good adult-sized hoodie pattern? I've found some crocheted ones on Ravelry, but they are pullovers. I know I can probably modify the patterns, but is there a good crocheted version with a zippered or buttoned front? Preferably without holes.

 

I want to make this for a Christmas present!

technically, you can use any sweater you like. Just add the hood later.

That's just the thing...I have no idea how to create a hood...

Hoods aren't really that difficult. I usually make mine about 18 inches (9 inches to each side of center).

 

Here's the link to the hooded scarf I designed - maybe it'll give you an idea http://rosereddesigns.blogspot.com/2011/02/hooded-scarf.html

Here are some hooded cardigans. Maybe you will like something. Or at least it will help you with a hood.

Thanks! I'm tempted to take the Bernat one and modify it to be zippered in the front...not sure how difficult that would be, though...
