Sunny Side Up Hoodie

Lion Brand® Cupcake®

GAUGE:

18 sts + 40 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (k every row). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

Sunny Side Up Hoodie Reviewed by joni on 2010-10-31 ****
I'v made 3 already and on my 4th. The first one I could never find the cup cake so I changed it to something similar. I did not like the garter st so I changed it and I also added purled hearts on the hood and the bottom of the of the body of the hoodie. I also added cuffs and 10 more sts in garter for edge & room to grow. My 4th is for a boy so I'v lost ideas for replacing the hearts.
