11/10/2011: Love the pattern, my 17 and 20 year old sons actually said they really liked it and would like one in their size. I will definitely be making more of this pattern. It is well written and knits up nicely. I washed it in a zippered bag with a load of regular clothes and air dried it. It has softened up very nicely and feels great to the touch now.
