Christmas hoodie jacket

Have just finished this today and am surprising content with the finished item. I used Hayfield Bonues Chunky - just over 700g in red and just under 100g in white on 8mm needles. Pattern. I modified the welt and cuffs on mine to garter stitch and made it 10 cm shorter, though is still long.

My beanstalk jacket.

Wasn't inspired at the wool shop for yarn, so bought 1200g Hayfield bonus dk in navy to double up, ended up using just over 800g and used 6mm needles. I am not too keen on how narrow the neck was, but other than that enjoyed making this one. Purchased this pattern. Will have to get a pic wearing it cos it looks a bit flat without a person in it!

Purple cable jacket

I loved making this, probably cos of the colour! The yarn was soft and easy to knit. Was complimented by my son the on the "celtic knot" on the back! I used just over 500g Hayfield bonus dk in purple and 4mm needles. Finished this one at the end of November. Pattern.

Multi jacket

I used 21 balls of Sirdar Click chunky in verve and 5mm needles. Not too keen on the front panels - looks odd. I may undo the fronts and rework straight, as it is a bit too baggy on the hips. Liked using this yarn, though is a bit rough on the skin. Pattern.

Stripey cardi

I frogged the yarn on this one, made a hoody jacket a while back that I haven't worn. Have only worn this once since I completed it on October 18th. Used 6 200g James Brett marble chunky in pink mix. Here is the pattern. If I made it again, would change the collar so it isn't pointy!
