Storybook Baby Hoodie

Lion Brand® Pound of Love®

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.

STITCH EXPLANATION:

kfb- knit into front and then back of next st – 1 st increased.

NOTES:

1. Sweater is worked in one piece to armholes, then divided for Fronts and Back.
2. Yarn amount is sufficient for more than one sweater.
3. A small amount of crocheting is used for the hood's tassel.

Storybook Baby Hoodie Reviewed by Diane on 2013-04-06 *****
I made this using pound of love in pastel green and creamsicle together. I made it longer in the body & sleeves as it was sized for 12-18 months. I would also recommend making the top button hole further from the top edge. I love how the color combination turned out. It can be used for a boy or girl.
