Material recommendation: Definitely a stretchy fabric like cotton- or viscose-jersey. A lightweight and elastic sweatshirt material would also work. The bands/cuffs can be made of either jersey or a ribbed knit.
The amount of fabric is based on a fabric width of 150 cm (1 3/4 yd). For the hood you will need an additional 40 cm (15 3/4”) of fabric each - for the inner and outer part of the hood. For the band / ribbing at the hem you will need approximately 20 cm (7 7/8”) of the material you choose for this.
