GAUGE:

Playdate Hoodie Reviewed by Chris Morse on 2009-10-27 ****
I have made two of these hoodies. First one was a size 1 but it is really small. Second one I made a size 3. I start the hood back some from the front plackets. I also did a 3 needle bind off for the shoulders and a mattress stitch for the sleeve seams. Trying another with larger needles and thicker yarn. It is fairly easy and more experienced knitters can make their own revisions.
