Little Hoodlem is Finished.

Aiden's hoodie is finished. It is made from Twilley's of Stamford, Mist which is a lovely blend of Alpaca, wool and Dralon (Acrylic). It is beautifully fuzzy which wouldn't be great for showing up cables and other textured patterns but works great with this pattern and is wonderful for cuddling when the baby is wearing it. All I need to do is test how this stands up to the dreaded washing test. I would hate to machine wash it (as the ball band states) and have it felt so I will be abusing the swatch thoroughly before I let my precious jumper near the machine!

The pattern is Little Hoodlem by Julia Stanfield. I originally purchased the pattern for personal use only but have decided I will buy the license, which will allow me to sell items I knit using the pattern. This will include Hotshot and Young Einstein. I expect to be selling these items from May/June 2013. Please sign up to our newsletter (top right of page) if you want to be notified when I start selling them.

Here is the finished Little Hoodlem on my 3 and 1/2 month baby. This is the 6-12months size so it is still a little on the big side, especially the hood but he'll grow into it in no time.
