Be Friendly to the Carnival Folk was inspired by dreamy carousels, cotton candy and rickety rides. The fabric is by Kokka and is actually called 'Carnival', you might recognize it from my birthday bulk buy. The red corduroy and the buttons were a lucky thrifty find. The pattern is by Dear My Kids and this is the 'unisex warm hoodie' in a size 5. Big enough for when its actually winter here.
I first saw the jacket made up here and jumped at the chance to try a new boy's pattern, particularly one involving piping. Turns out the pattern doesn't say anything about piping but its a nice detail on an otherwise plain jacket. And since too much is never enough, I piped the sleeves, the rim of the hood and along the hood before, thankfully, it ran out. Its a simple pattern to work with, though I missed the handy notches of an Oliver and S.
