“An absolute dream to knit” – commented one of the testers!! She kept stroking it and looking at it as she was knitting as she was so pleased with it. The entire team loved knitting it and I am super proud of the design!
This pattern contains instructions for a Hoodie to fit 18″ – 28″ chest and the end product is larger as it is a coat. The finished chest sizes are 2 sizes bigger to allow for clothing underneath so 22″ – 32″. I cannot stress enough to measure the child you are knitting for as all children are different. By adjusting length of arms and body it would easily fit older children. Going by traditional sizing it states this would fit up to 8 years but measure!!!

“Max” is a stunning Aran knit which I am super proud of.
My Irish roots have inspired my love of the Aran style of knitting and I have introduced a modern twist to my creations. Experience is required to knit this pattern.
Wool & yarn recommendation…
I often get asked which wool I use and who my yarn supplier is! For this knit I have used Stylecraft Special Aran which I selected for its softness, it is very gentle on a baby’s skin. There are over 88 different shades available through LoveCrafts, who are my preferred yarn and wool supplier. (Spend over £25 to get free P&P and sign up their newsletter for 15% off your first order!)… I would also recommend Paintbox Aran for this pattern.
My favourite pattern. Love it! Clear easy to follow Stunning
