SeeMeSew: Boys hooded sweatshirt-Free pattern

I have a whole list ( I mean a huge list) of free patterns for boys and decided I should start making more clothing from those patterns and with that in mind I give you the Boys Hooded Sweatshirt!

Carter always, always, wants to wear a sweater. He likes to be comfortable and his classroom is cold so a sweater is the natural thing for him to wear. I could have traced something or bought a pattern but I was pleased to find a sweater pattern just Carters size on Shwin & Shwin, I love her patterns for boys, and the price was just right ;0)

(I am in no way being compensated for this post nor am I affiliated with shwin&shwin. I like the pattern that is all.)

He really is a sweet boy. Even though he is at an age I find very hard deal with, the silly age. Where they do anything and everything to tease everyone but don't try to tease back, I mean that brings on tears, ya know? Anyways 7 going on 8 yearold boys are hard for me. Good thing I get to do it four times right? ( I hope you can read my sarcasm) Despite the silliness I love this kid.

Back to the pattern. I pretty much followed the directions except I did make the sweater reversible with only the seams attaching the hood and the wrist cuff being exposed seams on the reverse side. Simply because I didn't want to figure out how to make it fully reversible ;0).

I used regular knit fabric instead of a sweater knit. Because I made it it with regular knit (and thinner knit at that) I went ahead and doubled the fabric on the arms and front/back. It is a really nice weight now perfect for spring and cool summer nights.
