Angora Sweater Handknit Hoodie

Make It

This project was made from an independent Craftsy designer's pattern:
Top Down Hoodie with Cable Infants »

Instructions

Very easy. You start at the top of the hood and knit down as far as where the sleeves are divided from the body. At this point you are almost there. Just finish the body and each sleeve and you won't have any sewing or finishing left to do but the seam at the top of the hood.
You can download the pattern here at Craftsy. The Link is above.

Materials

I spun the yarn for this project from a blend of Angora rabbit fur and a soft Merino wool. I am going to try offering to do custom handspinning on my web site and see how it goes. Visit nancyelizabethdesigns.com for more.

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to knit the Top Down Hoodie again and really loved the Merino and Angora blend.

What are you most proud of?

I have now published this and a couple more multi size and illustrated patterns. Ive been asked so many times over the years to write out my designs and I am finally doing it.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

enjoy. this one is addictive especially if you use handspun luxury yarns but any natural fiber yarns will be wonderful.

The yarn looks amazingly soft and silky. This is one very warm little hoodie for those cold winter days ahead. Gorgeous color, too. I wouldn't mind having one for myself.
