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.





It’s lovely! If the hood bothers because of the pooling, you could try knitting the hood in two halves and seaming it together. Try for a stitch count similar to the sleeves for each half.
awesome – i love it! so cute – looks great in that yarn. I much prefer your version to the original ones!
Cuuuute! Now that I have a nephew on the way to knit for, I keep seeing all these gorgeous girly baby patterns
Cute! I love the colours, even the pooling
Lovely little stripy jacket – as far as the hood is concerned, how many little ones do you know that will let you put their hood up even when it’s seriously draughty?
Love the striping!
