You may remember I have already knitted a hoodie like this out of leftover and unravelled yarn but I gave that to Miranda so I needed another one. And this one only took me 2 months to make, which is a record for me!
Whilst this one is not made of unravelled yarn, I didn’t buy any new stuff because it’s made completely of other people’s leftovers. Quite a few balls had been given to us of various colours and thicknesses, and I spent a couple of pounds at charity shops buying a mixture of odd balls, so it has cost me next to nothing and I’ve made something useful out of stuff that was being thrown out. Win-win 😀
Ooh, it’s so lovely and warm 😀
Here is the pattern if you’re interested, although it’s rather messed up so I don’t know if you’ll be able to make sense of it.
I made mine really chunky by using 3 strands of DK (or whatever I had) so it came out bigger than the one on the pattern. Plus I made mine longer. So, with a pack-a-mac over the top on rainy days, I’ve got a homemade winter coat 🙂
The pattern came from this book Greetings from Knit Cafe by Suzan Mischer

I love it ! My mom knows how to knit, maybe she’ll craft me a lovely jacket like this ❤

aw 😦 it’s one of those things that seems hard when you’re first trying to learn it but, once you get the hang of it, it’s a breeze 🙂 There’s a great video by cyberseams.com embedded in the re-knitting post which shows you how (http://violetsvegnecomics.com/2013/09/09/re-knitting/) but whether you do it yourself, or get your mum to do it, I hope you get your multi-coloured hoodie in the end 😀
