Yeah if you keep drying it (like quite literally, but it in the dryer like five times lol) it will shrink A LOT. especially if it is cotton, which I would assume so. although, I think that will ruin the writing because every item I've had that shrunk with writing on them got ruined and cracked...so I'm not sure.

Shrinking it in the dryer is the only way to shrink it. If it doesn't turn out the way you wanted it to you can still wear it, sweatshirts are supposed to be big in my opinion

Hot water.. high heat in the dryer. Cotton will only shrink so much...especially if it is prewashed/shrunk. Decals don't take well to heat, so I'd limit it to one attempt.
