My design ideas and advice: This design has a few siblings! I designed this hoodie because knitters asked me to! It is the hoodie version of the Kyle Jumper, the Kyle Jumper was designed because of the Gamsber Jumper, a jumper for children with sizes up to 10 years old and I had lots of people, ladies and gentlemen pop into the studio and say that wish that jumper was in adult sizes. I love being able to say – It is! And now there is a hoodie version too!
I’ve seen a fab variations of this hoodie, lots knitted in the Croft Shetland Aran and a few in the Jacobs.

Yarn & Amounts: 9(10:10:11) 100g hanks of WYS Bluefaced Leicester Aran (100% British BlueFaced Leicester Wool, 166m/182yds per 100g).
Metres: 1430(1600:1600:1760)m.
Needles: 4mm, 4.5mm and 5mm.
