Pattern Description: hoodie with double layer sleeves - two options include a slim cut (more feminine) and a traditional cut (more masculine) - I made the wider cut for my 7 year old son.

Pattern Sizing: 74/80 - 170/176cm (Benjamin will be getting a 122/128.)

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? no clue...they were in German and I could figure it out with them, but Farbenmix does have an excellent photo tutorial for all of their patterns.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? great styling details with options for embellishment

Fabric Used: cotton jersey - stripes are from Patsy Aiken, solids from Joann's, Minecraft embroidery from FrouFrou by Heather Sue

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: aside from adding embellishment, no

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes & yes

Conclusion: This is a great pattern for boys or girls - tremendous size range and excellent styling options. I feel confident in making this as a Christmas surprise for my 7 year old!
