Made this hoodie for my dear friend's 4 year old granddaughter. Here is Anna modeling it. Getting this picture made my day - I have never met Anna in person! When her grandma said that her friend, Sandy, had made this sweater for her, Anna eyes got wide, "Sandy like the hurricane?"
The pattern is Lion Brand Free Knitting Pattern 80979AD Weekend Hoodie -- pattern is for sizes child's 2 to adult 3x.
I used the Lion Brand Homespun. It was difficult to work with at first but I did manage. Love the way it feels and it washed up great.

I made the exact same one using the same color for my grandchild. I am amazed, considering the wool, how well it is standing up to his climbing etc. Good choice and great work.

Thanks Eileen. I'm thinking of making one for a little boy next. Nice to know they stand up to kid action.

I knit it while home from work because of my namesake hurricane and admit I am a force to be reckoned with when need be.

great sweater and love the color. I worked with the yarn and not easy if you need to frog it. Feels good though, and nice to hear it holds up.

Well, she certainly looks happy to have received such a lovely gift!

How sweet. I made a bunch of the Lion Brand hoodies for my family and friends. My grand daughter wore the first one until the sleeves were nearly up to her elbows. I made the second one, not realizing it was the same size as the first,gave that one to little neighbor girl, since they have 2 girls, made the second one for them. Then made another for my gd. She never did wear them out, they were washed at least 3 times a week, she wore them every single day for months. Then I made her the last one, adult size, about 4 years ago, she still wears it, she still owns the first one and the second one too. I made for some of the adults in the family as well. They were all made of Home Spun, Lion brand that is. I have not done any spinning myself, just something I don't think I would have time for, with all the knitting and cross stitch I do. Thank you for sharing the picture you recieved. I have only a few pictures of sweaters I give away, but they are pretty special.
