Style 2224 is a hooded cardigan that features ¾ inch sleeves with elastic capping, a full front opening with a zipper closure, two inset side seam pockets in the waist area, two side slits, an overlayed strip that extends from under the armhole to the side slit, and elastic capping which finishes the bottom.
