A modified wire hanger apparatus should do the trick.

Putting a safety pin in the end of the string makes it much easier to thread through the hood.

tape the string to the end of a chop stick

tie the string to a friendly earthworm. place him in one end of the hoodie, and lure him to the other end with a delicious chunk of poop!

Use a lacquered chopstick.

pull it through by pinching with your fingers through the fabric and successively unscrunching and scrunching the fabic

String 'em up, it's the only language they understand.

Another vote for the safety pin. Use the biggest pin you can fit through the hole.

i've seen my mum do this with a knitting needle.

alternatively, just don't bother - most drawstrings on hoddies are pretty useless.

hoodies! oops.

I've always attached a bobby pin to the end of the string, which makes it a zillion times easier to guide along, just scrunch it through from the outside and that's that. Or just throw it out and buy a new one.

nine years pass...

I took a wire hanger, straightened it out (mostly), used a pair of needle nose pliers to pinch around the strong, then pushed the other end through the hood out the other side, and then dragged the string through. Basically the same way you run wire through conduit.

basically what the second post says but more detail

wire hangers, straightened, are so long you can even just push it through first, THEN pinch the string on to the other end. Also, for convenience, I recommend using the pliers to cut off the rest of the hanger.
