Mini-me. Simple hooded cardigan – FO 15/2011

June 2, 2011

Despite the current complete lack of enthusiasm for picking up a needle in any shape or form I managed to sew up The Boy’s latest jacket, made from leftovers of Mr S’s Whitfield Jacket.

The pattern is 70038 Simple Hooded Cardigan from Lion Brand Yarns.  I sized it up one size from the largest on the pattern as I didn’t want quite such a shrunken look.  I also added a collar rather than a hood so its more like his daddy’s jacket.

I love this.  He looks so like his daddy in this cardigan.  Beyond adorable.

He’s very pleased with it and runs around saying “jumper, jumper”.  Although its forecast 25 degrees today, as I type its still cool enough to wear your new jacket to play on the deck.

Perfect.
