Need Pattern for Man's Hooded Cardigan or Suggestions?

[Sue Miller]

Hi-
I'm hoping someone can help me locate a sweater pattern for my son....he's 23 and a devout non-sweater wearer. Both Grandmas knit and they've made him some beautiful sweaters which he accepts graciously, but then never wears them.

I'm a fairly new knitter, and I've managed to knit my way through two sweaters for my daughter, and I'd love to make him something now, but I just can't find one that he might wear. His style, if I had to put a name on it, would be sort of grunge/punk.

I've found one patten in "Funky Knits" that had a sweater with holes actually knit into it, but it looks too contrived and I don't think he would go for it. I was thinking one sweater he might wear would be one that looked liked a zip-up hoodie sweatshirt (I was thinking maybe I could do an intarsia skull and cross-bones), but I just can't find a pattern anywear.

Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
