Finished! 2 versions of the Bernat Camo hoodie pattern

[Momcrochets]

It's become somewhat an annual tradition around here, that I make my 2 kids each a new sweater every fall. This year I got started a bit later than usual, but finished them both yesterday. I kept alternating between sweaters so I could have them completed close to the same time. (Front sweater A, front Sweater B. Back sweater A, Back Sweater B etc etc).

 

Believe it or not, I used (loosely at times) the current/recent Bernat Camo hoodie pattern.

happy with their new sweaters

 

On this sweater, I only changed the neckline (which meant fiddling with the hood a bit)...I was afraid the depth of the V might have too "girly" a feel for him (see the first picture for the neckline change )

 

On this one I used a completely different stitch, b/c of pooling (my brain just *had* to think of the hard way around that...I could have alternated 2 skeins) But I kept the concept of the neckline, and the basic schematics.

[Momcrochets]

Thank you! They picked out their own colors (part of the tradition). And the colorways suit them well.

They are lovely sweaters and your children look so cute in them, thanks for showing us!

New sweaters! Don't they look nice? And the children are obviously pleased as punch with their new Mom-made duds! Those hoods are great — you don't have to keep up with caps and if the hoods are down, they provide a little extra warmth at the neck. Very nice job, Mom. I love seeing these pictures!

Wow both of those are awesome. I like the fact that you made one for your son and one for your daughter. I wondered how I could make one for my godson and now I know how.

I am attempting something similar with the Bernat chunky hooded sweatshirt. I honestly do not think I have the front and back panles correct. what should they look like there is no pattern lay out on the website?

Great job! They look awesome!

[hhensler]

WOW! I want one...

[Momcrochets]

Heather, Last I heard, there is an adult version of this pattern. And it is really quite an easy pattern to make. No shaping to speak of. I keep thinking the same thing...when I get caught up, I think I'll make me one...it's been a year, and I'm still not there. One of these years. Lol
