PATTERN NOTES
Color changes have been omitted from the pattern for ease of reading. To make a colorful hoodie as
shown on page 1, change colors after every 2 rows while working the granny stripe pattern on the
HOOD & COWL. Then work the last two rounds of the EDGING in different colors.

Changing colors at the end of a row: When working the last stitch of the row, leave the last 2 loops on
the hook. Instead of finishing the stitch with the current color, yarn over with the new color and
complete the stitch. Then continue with the pattern.

double crochet 3 stitches together (dc3tog) = (yo, insert hook into designated st, pull up a loop, yo, pull
through 2 loops)(repeat 2 more times), yo and pull through all 4 loops on hook

single crochet 3 stitches together (sc3tog) = insert hook into 1st st, pull up a loop, (insert hook into next
st, pull up a loop)(repeat 1 more time), yo and pull through all 4 loops on hook
