Saturday Morning Hoodie Reviewed by Nancy Roe on 2013-02-18
Made this sweater for my 6'8" son. Lengthened the sleeves to suit his 7' wingspan and wish I had made it longer in the body as well. Had four full skeins of yarn left over so I could have but wasn't confident I could count on there being enough yarn. He loves the sweater. Since he will never button it I placed only three buttons and loops and it looks great. I already have a request from his sister to make one for her. As it worked up quickly and the pattern was easy to follow, I should have hers done before spring shows up.
