Peter-Hood

Sorry, I couldn't resist the terrible pun. That's what happens when you hang around with Handyman for too long - horrible puns come spewing out, wreaking havoc on innocent passersby.

Anyway, I managed to finish Handyman's Christmas present, the Sleeveless Hoodie. I am quite pleased with the finished results, and I'm debating knitting up a matching one for Peter. Wouldn't he and daddy be a handsome pair?
(Sorry about the blurry photo. This is the best one of about 20. Four year old boys do NOT like to hold still - or smile in anything less than a completely dorky grin.)

Here's the back with the hood. I tried steam blocking it with an iron, which flattened the edges down but slightly singed the yarn. Thankfully it's not too noticieable.Specs:
Pattern: Sleeveless Hoodie from the Knitting Man(ual)
Yarn: Lion Brand Vanna's Choice, 3 skeins of Navy and 2 of Terra Cotta Orange

The hood is fantastic! Yes, you HAVE to make a matching one for Peter. That would be so cute :)
