The stripes just keep on coming.
I had the urge to make another little hooded jacket like the Tomten, and this pattern caught my eye. It’s incredibly simple to knit and suits a self-striping yarn, I think, if you don’t want to fuss about with the embellishments (which I don’t).

The yarn striped beautifully on the sleeves and body of the cardigan, but the hood pooled a bit, sadly. I think it must be the stitch count which disagreed with it, which is a shame. It’s a very fluffy yarn, slightly slubby and splices nicely which meant minimal ends to weave in afterwards. I have enough left over for a matching you-know-what if I’m so inclined, but I think that might be going a bit too far.
