Description
I was inspired by JJ1’s Kimono/Naomi hooded jacket. I used the Lydia Hoodie variation pattern, but modified it so it opened in the front and had a wraparound obi belt closure. I used some fun wooden buttons as closures.
I’m pretty happy with the final project but I find that it wrinkles up near the top button. I might have to put in a hook-and-eye closure to help keep it straight, but I’m open to suggestions! :-)
Material Notes
Jersey knit and cotton-linen blend for the hood liner, wooden buttons

Ok, I know this is old, but I have to comment—-I love this bunnyhug! And I love that I’m not the only person in the world who still calls them that!

I am in love with this!! It looks soo comfortable, great for fall/winter (might need a bit more layers for our Canadian winters though! lol), I definatly need to make one like this. Do you have any tips or pieces of information you learned from making it that you could share? I plan on making one of these very soon!! :D

I absolutely love the obi closure. These bunnyhugs (we call them hoodies in the US) always look shapeless but comfortable, so this is a great idea. Now I can look feminine and be comfortable at the same time! ;)

Most of Canada calls them hoodies as well… But in the province where I’m originally from, they’re called bunnyhugs. It’s sort of an homage to Saskatchewan!
(And I love obi belts too, I have a couple)

This is so incredibly cute!

Just love this, what a cool version of a hoodie! The slight wrap and the wide belt really makes it stand out! The belt also gives it such a beautiful fitted look! No doubt the coolest hoodie I’ve ever seen!

Wow! Awesome.

This hoodie is awesome! I love to see variations like this on basic clothing elements. It looks so fresh and fun a girl might just get excited about colder weather! Way to think “outside the hoodie”.

Love your coat, great conversion of the pattern!!
Nov 13, 2009, 12.53 PMby leeshv
I love it. I was also very inspired by the JJ1 Kimono jacket. I’ve had it in mind with a lot of my projects. I really like the wrap around belt on yours and the buttons! (colour is awesome too)

its brilliant, I love the bright colours and the re-work, not too far from what i’m hoping to make as a winter coat, did changing the front make attaching the hood very fidly?

Hi, thanks very much! I didn’t find altering the hood too tricky, I just basically kept one side the same as the original pattern (to match up with the body piece) and then extended the other side of the hood about 5" – the same as I extended that part of the jacket.
Good luck with the winter coat, I’d love to see the results!

This is really beautiful!

Like it very much what you did with the lydia pattern! The obi belt closure is a great idea… like the colour and also the checked lining of the hoodie… and your hairband fits excellently to the obi closure. :)
