Some time ago I promised ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
obandsoller that I'd knit or crochet him a hoodie, and when he saw the dragonscale gloves I made for rmc28 he asked if I could make the hoodie in the same stitch.
I thought about how long that would take, and suggested a plainer torso with dragonscale hood and cuffs, which was considered acceptable. I'm really pleased with how it came out, and he seems to quite like it as well :)
The main body is made using a technique called Tunisian crochet, which was new to me, and requires having the whole row on your hook at once, so is in some sense half way between knitting and crochet. The main stitch I was using comes out looking almost exactly like a knitted stocking stitch on the right side, but generates a really thick, warm fabric.
