Quick and Easy Reviewed by Barbara Keith on 2010-02-06
I knitted this for a friend's Boston (like in the picture) and it was great. Made it in a couple of TV watching/knitting evenings. Only problem I had, was when he tried it on, I had to re-knit the undersection to be shorter so he wouldn't "wet" it when he hiked his leg! LOL
Turned out cute and now he is nice and warm. Made it with the marbled Granit color.
