Toddler Hoodie

This is a pattern that I actually found on Ravelry a long time ago but because it was hosted on Geocities is no longer available.  I was disappointed in that I was looking for the pattern again to make it and it wasn't until my toddler dumped over all my printed patterns that I found the pattern!

So, without further adieu, I will repost this FREE pattern with credit given to Jenn Belcher
