Introduction: This sweater was made at the request of my 13 years old niece who loves wolves. She’s been fascinated by wolves her whole life and has written many reports on them for school. She asked for an oversized, cropped hoodie so I got to work. I designed a wolf silhouette with a full moon. A boxy shape, with 6 inches of ease and modified drop shoulders makes it a cozy sweater to wear with a pair of jeans. It is knit in pieces from the bottom up, then seamed together. Lili was thrilled with her sweater and loves to tell everyone it was made especially for her.
