ISO kids hoodie pattern with zippered back

[danzarooni]

Colleen (mamaroni on MDC) is looking for one she describes as:

a knit hooded sweater that someone's mom that I used to work with knitted. they are long sleeved, hooded, and they zip up the back--all the way from the waist to the tip of the hood. it's so easy to get on her.

anyone know where to find one?

I don't mean to be a downer, but I really had bad luck with those sweaters. We got one as a gift and the zipper always left an imprint down my son's back and I think it annoyed him because he always cried when he was wearing it in the carseat. You also have to lay them on their tummy and wrangle the zipper closed which isn't any easier or quicker than the other way.

But I have heard others have had better experiences and it is a cute design, so hopefully you will have better luck! :x (That's me shutting up now so as to not spoil others' fun.)

It probably depends on the age of the kiddo. I loved it when they were bigger and you could zip 'em while following the crawling body.
