What was your inspiration?

I grew up at the beach, and wanted to make something that would turn any sweater or sweatshirt into a hoodie!

What are you most proud of?

I'm proud of figuring out a way to turn use the moebius form to create this new shape!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't be afraid to try a moebius, they are really quick to knit and super-addictive!

This project is not hard to make at all! It uses an unusual cast-on and couple of intermediate techniques (like short-rows and grafting), but it's definitely suitable for adventurous beginners!
