As if I didn’t get fed up with it last time! I now decided to make another for my brother, as a joint Christmas (2012) and 21st birthday present!

It’s really very simple to knit though, as it one of the only patterns out there for young men, that’s actually quite ‘trendy’ as the others all seem to be quite old man like.

I’ve been quite adventerous really, as my brother’s 6’’5’, but slender, so I made it with the width for a size M, but the length of an X Large. I adapted the pattern quite well I think- but I’ll wait and see how it fits him at Christmas.

I’m really into these ‘tags’ at the moment that you buy as ribbon in knit/sewing shops. It gives a real designer look to the item.

The buttons are a personal fav of mine, I bought them in the lovely NorthStar yarns, Jill’s shop- and the’re made out of coconut shell- beautiful.
