This is a very easy and repetitive pattern. Perfect for beginners that would like a product they can sell. This Coodie is a really nice bulky Cowl that can double as a Hood for when your ears need to stay warm. Although the pattern is somewhat “mesh” you will be surprised how warm it is! If you’d like suggestions on making this for a toddler or baby please send me a message and I can help you with that. It is important that if you decide to use yarn other than Homespun that you pay attention to the yardage. Homespun gives you alot more yardage than most bulky yarns of the same price range. You will only need one ball of Homespun, an “N” hook and I use a J or K hook to weave in the ends.
