Here is the Knitting Receipe for the family favorite The Hooded Jacket for Everyone.  It has literally been made for almost everyone in the family.  The dolls have gotten some of these, and my son Blake who is 6'4" and 230 pounds has gotten one, and I have made them for every age and size in between.  The garter stitch body is a nice easy knit....perfect for car knitting.  I made my first one of these in the car on a trip to Minnesota to visit our grandson Damian and the garter stitch was very calming while we were navigating long driving days on unfamiliar roads.  And then, of course the color work provides for a little bit of stimulating fun, and the finishing details are clever and tricky and consequently have an entertainment value of their own.

4 stitches/inch using size 6 needles for this sweater.  3 skeins of worsted (160 yards) in main color, 1 skein of contrast color for this size (6 months to 2 years depending on your baby) -- Chest measurement is 21” but can be expanded to 22” by moving buttons.

BUT -- you can make the sweater with any weight yarn, any needle size to fit any finished size by just doing the math.


AND you can make the sweater without the two color knitted bands.  It’s not as fancy but you can substitute contrasting bands in plain stockinette or garter stitch and the sweater will still look great.

Here is the view from the back.  Although it is hard to fully appreciate the charm of the tassel until you see it bouncing across a playground on the head of a toddler.....or a 6'4" son  This pattern is available as a Ravelry download or you can find it on our company store www.threadsofmeaning.com
