Knit-Along Sleuthing Hoodie or Ridinghood Babydoll Sweater

Yeah, but i like the riding hoodie more
Maybe for the next one someone should find something that I can knit in Aran Cotton with about 3 skiens

If you did the Ridinghood in aran it would come out bigger

Someone did ask about the bigger sized Sleuthing Hoodie in the Sugarbubbie ravelry group, but there's been no answer yet.

ETA: the Ridinghood goes up to a 4-6T, wouldn't that be big enough

Ooh I've just seen this as I've been offline for aaages (Archie ripped the dongle out of the front of the PC )

I want to play! Off to choose some wool now, I've only ever knitted longies and soakers before so I'm sure I'm going to be full of questions, sorry in advance.

I don't think it would be. At least not with growth room in it

I just wanted to point out that the size of needles stated in the riding hood pattern (3.75mm size US 5) are far too small. I have cast on about 5 times and it always seems too tight to the point that the biggest size is still too tight for DD's head so I was asking Cathie who made the one I got for Aimie and she said to use 5.5mm instead.

Hope that helps

How much dk yarn do you need for the 2-3T Riding hood? I'm trying to decide between Aran or DK, so between sleuthing and ridinghood and basically wondering what the total garment weight will be roughly in dk.

I just got a riding hood in DK knitted by Cathie (NKFN) in size 1-2 and she used 254 g so I would say 300-350g but that is just guessing really
she used your club yarn from March and that was 290g in total

ETA she also said:

The tension stated is actually for aran weight yarn, hense them coming out too small.

I tried using aran for them but found they used up lots of yarn and ended up quite heavy. I used 5.5mm needles with the Double knit I think they come out slightly bigger, but with 5mm its a little smaller.

I love those patterns. If I started one now, I'd never get it finished before winter is over. (I'm really, really slow. ) Do I start one thinking she'll be able to wear it in a year's time? Hmmmm ...

I would start one in a bigger size so that she can wear it next year if you are a really slow knitter

And then just hope she doesn't have a massive growth spurt or something in the next 12 months. But that she grows enough to fit it. Guess I could always make it GN, so it can hang around for Bub. Decisions, decisions ...
