I finished knitting the Central Park Hoodie last spring. Then it languished for months until I found buttons for it in August. So here it is, in all it's glory.
And the back.
Here's a closeup of the buttons I got at Buttons and Bows in San Anselmo, at their closing sale. It's a shame, just as I found them that they've gone out of business.
This was a surprisingly quick knit. The cables add a bit of interest but don't slow you down too much. I enjoyed the Cascade 220. I think I'll wear this quite a bit.
Pattern Modifications: I did short rows and a three-needle bindoff on the shoulders, and I used kitchener stitch to seam the hood.
If I knit this again I'll do it all in one piece instead of two fronts and a back. That way I won't be off in my rows when stopping for the arm holes. Also, I'll make the arm holes smaller. They start a little low on me.
Pattern: Central Park Hoodie from Knitscene Fall 2006 (KAL here, which was a big help to me)
Yarn: Cascade 220 Heathers in Sea (colorway 4005), about 6 skeins
Needles: Size 7 Addi Turbos
