    Anorak pull over

    I was curious if anyone knew of any instructions or patterns for a basic anorak pull over? jacket. Or if anyone has made one? If so, what's the difficulty on a project like this, I'm very novice.

    Seattle Fabrics and Outdoor Wilderness Fabrics both have patterns for jackets that remind me of the Anorak Style. I'm not sure if Anoraks have a hood or not.

    Re: difficulty - the first one is never easy. Budget lots of time and patience. Don't be afraid to rip out a few seams. Heck, make a bunch of stuff sacks first to get the drift of your machine. Finally, don't be afraid to ask: there are DIY wizards here on the forums.

    It's just all common sense. You can do it. My long length parka took about 4 months, and came out fine for a first project of it's complexity. Don't over think, just get started, and it will happen for you.

    Green Pepper Pattern #126

    "Mens Coast Range Anorak"

    Green Pepper Pattern #126

    Moderate difficulty (skip the sewn in upper pocket and it will be much easier).

    I have made several - its not that hard. Follow the directions and take your time.

    Only thing I did not like was that it uses velcro instead of a zipper.

    Enjoy

    Happy Trails.

    Wow, thanks a bunch guys! The green pepper looks perfect. I have a bunch of fleece throws I picked up at wal mart awhile back and have been wanting to do something. I'm sure with the help of my girlfriend I can make this happen.

    I picked up McCall's M6252 a couple weeks ago pattern when JoAnn's had the patterns on sale for $0.99. I haven't really looked into starting it yet. I'm planning on making a rain shell out of sil for use in-camp only using this pattern.

    For a winter Anorak here is a good start. Summer just change the material and downsize.

    Here's a link for the Book . $25. Its worth buying the book not just for the pattern but all the other info and stories as well.

    Try the "Kinsman" by ThruHiker. It may or may not be what you are looking for.
