So, since I made a baby girl sweater a few posts ago, I had to try to make this hoodie. I used a pattern found on the Bernat website. (Baby Hoodie) I guess I have just been so thrilled that I can actually make clothing that I have been going a little overboard. Oh well, a little warmth never hurt anyone (unless you a homeless guy on a corner by a bagel shop, who, when offered a bagel refuses because he doesn't like what's in the bagel)

Now, I didn't have much for buttons and I was trying to go for a real simple look, so although they are bold, I think it works!

The pattern I used was for a 12 month old, but the hood turned out to be a bit big.

When the hood is down, as you can see, the sweater looks a little better. Come to think about it, babies and toddlers do have bigger heads in comparison to their bodies, so it might be a good fit!

I am not quite sure if the buttons will hold with the loops I made. Trial and error seems to be my way of making things. With this hoodie, I tried a zipper first, only to tear it out and replace it with buttons. When I sent it to my friend, I told her in the note to make any changes if it doesn't work when she puts it on her baby. The only model I have is my cat.... and well.... she doesn't appreciate being dressed, at all.

On another note... it has been dry all week here and the weather has been shinning down on some lovely sun-filled mornings. It has been perfect for those late morning strolls through the park, but still brisk enough to make you chill a little :)
