Striped Pony Hoodie

A pony-eared hoodie that's close-fitting, smooth and knitted in one piece (even the ears). The shoulders and body are gently shaped to suit a child’s body, and to make that gloriously enormous hood sit comfortably. The hood is plenty big enough to be a pony disguise, or flop around like a cape, however you prefer to wear it. Instructions for both zip and buttoned versions given.

It’s aimed at advanced knitters. You need to know how to:

• Increase and decrease stitches;
• Work with different colours;
• Pick up and work stitches;
• Use stitch markers;
• Use Magic Loop technique with a circular needle;
• Either graft using Kitchener stitch or do 3-needle cast-off or cast-off conventionally and seam up afterwards.

Both written and charted instructions. Written in UK terms with US terms and measurements also included.
