About this pattern
I liked the idea of a boys (or girls) hoodie in James C Brett Marble Chunky, a great value acrylic, machine washable and available in some bright and fun colours.

The combination of texture and self striping/marbled colour works really well, even though it shouldn’t. Usually we avoid textured on ‘busy’ yarns but this seems like a marriage made in heaven.  Worked bottom up to underarms them upper body is worked separately.  

It is important to work to the stated tension to ensure your garment is the correct size.
