Since Zander outgrew his favorite grey hoodie from Baby Gap, our options were to:
1. Shell out another $45 for a similar one
OR
2. Make an even better one for much less
As you can see, I went with option 2. I started with this pattern and adjusted it to be one-sided. I also added in the herringbone around the hood and elbow pads which aren’t part of the pattern. Zander now has a one-of-kind grey hoodie with a hint of herringbone.
Cost of materials: $12
Seeing my son wear something I made: Priceless!
