Talking Holey hoodie!

I absolutely love this pattern! The first time I saw it I knew I had to make it up! This is Ottobre Autumn 2007 #11 in a 104 cm. Its a boy cut so its boxy and Christine is quite short waisted so it fit her! I'm afraid this is going to be huge on the petite barely turned 3 yr old that I made it for. My best friends little boy is getting this for his 3rd birthday. She picked out the fabrics and wanted it generously sized, but I think he'll be able to wear it for a good 3 yrs

At least the theme will fit a 5 yr old boy too! She said that if I was going to spend the time to make him a boutique hoodie that she wanted him to wear it a very long time!

I love how it turned out and my girls want a girly version of it!

Here's Christine (excuse the sweaty hair from playing at the park!) with her hands in the holes:

Here she is with the holes stretched out and a little misshapen from having her fists in them

They are a nice and round IRL and it was quite difficult to do! I centered the little space ships in the circles, but its hard to see it correctly with a body in the sweatshirt! It looks perfect when its flat

that is VERY cute! And I love the material she picked out too.
BUT - I think I would skip the ribbing on the bottom and just have a regular hem down below. I know that in MY shirts, I prefer the sweaters that don't have the ribbing.
