6/9M Hoodie

6/9M Back:

Row 1: Ch-29, Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each to end. (28)
Rows 2 – 19: Ch-1, turn, Sc in first st, Wc in next 26 sts, Sc in last. (28)
*should be ~11.25” wide*
Row 20: Ch-1, turn, sl st in first 3 sts. Wc in next 22 sts. (Leave last 3 sts unworked) (22)
Rows 21 – 35: Ch-1, turn, Sc in first st, Wc in next 20 sts, Sc in last. (22)
Fasten off with tail long enough to sew shoulders later.

6/9M Front:

Row 1: Ch-28, Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each to end. (27)
Rows 2 – 18: Ch-1, turn, Sc in first st, Wc in next 25 sts, Sc in last. (27)
*should be ~10.75” wide*

Separate into left & right:

Row 19: Ch-1, turn, sc in first, wc in next 11 sts. (12)

Row 21 – 35: Ch-1, turn, sc in first, wc in 9 sts. Sc in last. (11)

Turn work (so that what you have already completed is on the left) and attach in first/far right st from row 18. Complete “front” again to mirror other side, leaving 3 sts in between the left & right sides.

Sew the front to back at shoulders using the Mattress Stitch. Starting at the outside, sew top seam for 5 sts on each front to corresponding 5 sts on back. This will leave 6 unsewn sts on both fronts and 12 unsewn sts along the back for a total of 24 sts around neck opening. Do not weave in ends from sewing shoulders! We’ll use those tails to sew up any holes when done.

Hood:

Attach at either side of neck opening…

Row 1: Ch-1, sc in first st, wc in next 5 sts. Sc2tog (in the 2 sts at shoulder seam). Wc in each of 12 sts along back. Sc2tog (in the 2 sts at the shoulder seam), wc in next 5 sts, sc in last. (26)

Fasten off leaving long enough tail to sew hood shut.

Sew Side Seams:

Lay front to back and line up sides. Starting at bottom, sew row for row up to the row where you slip stitched – row 22 – going into the TOP of the stitches instead of the sides. Make sure that the remaining # of rows is equal on front and back. These two sides, along with the flat portion, will make up the complete armhole.

Sew the front to back at shoulders using the Mattress Stitch. Starting at the outside, sew top seam for 6 sts on each front to corresponding 6 sts on back. This will leave 7 unsewn sts on both fronts and 15 unsewn sts along the back for a total of 29 sts around neck opening. Do not weave in ends from sewing shoulders! We’ll use those tails to sew up any holes when done.

Position pocket ~7 rows up from bottom hem. Play around with placement, pin into place, and sew together sturdily.

Bottom ribbing:

Attach yarn at either bottom seam…

Row 1: Ch-1, * fphdc around next, bphdc around next * repeat between * * around. Fphdc around last, join to top of first fphdc with sl st. (65)

*should be ~14” wide*
Row 47: Ch-1, turn, sl st in first 3 sts. Wc in next 29 sts. (Leave last 3 sts unworked) (29)
Rows 48 – 63: Ch-1, turn, Sc in first st, Wc in next 27 sts, Sc in last. (29)
Fasten off with tail long enough to sew shoulders later.

6/8 Front:

Row 1: Ch-36, Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each to end. (35)
Rows 2 – 45: Ch-1, turn, Sc in first st, Wc in next 33 sts, Sc in last. (35)
*should be ~14” wide*

Separate into left & right:

Row 46: Ch-1, turn, sc in first, wc in next 14 sts. (15)

Turn work (so that what you have already completed is on the left) and attach in first/far right st from row 51. Complete “front” again to mirror other side, leaving 5 sts in between the left & right sides.

Sew the front to back at shoulders using the Mattress Stitch. Starting at the outside, sew top seam for 7 sts on each front to corresponding 7 sts on back. This will leave 7 unsewn sts on both fronts and 15 unsewn sts along the back for a total of 29 sts around neck opening. Do not weave in ends from sewing shoulders! We’ll use those tails to sew up any holes when done.

Hood:

Attach at either side of neck opening…

Row 1: Ch-1, sc in first st, wc in next 6 sts. Sc2tog (in the 2 sts at shoulder seam). Wc in each of 15 sts along back. Sc2tog (in the 2 sts at the shoulder seam), wc in next 6 sts, sc in last. (31)

Row 39: Ch-1, turn, sc in first, wc in 12 sts, sc2tog, sc, sc2tog. Wc in 12 sts, sc in last. (29)
Fasten off leaving long enough tail to sew hood shut.

Sew Side Seams:

Lay front to back and line up sides. Starting at bottom, sew row for row up to the row where you slip stitched – row 53 – going into the TOP of the stitches instead of the sides. Make sure that the remaining # of rows is equal on front and back. These two sides, along with the flat portion, will make up the complete armhole.

Hood edging:

Attach at bottom right of neck opening.

Row 1: Ch-1, wc in each st across flat edge. (5 sts so far) Turn to work up row ends. * Sc in next, Sc2tog, Sc2tog * repeat between * * 10 more times, Sc in next st. (hood center – 38 sts total so far) Repeat between * * 11 times. Join to first sc with sl st. (72)
*if there is a small hole where you joined, that’s okay. We’ll sew it together when we’re done.

Row 2: Turn work so you’re looking at the inside. Ch-1, bphdc around very first st (the last Sc2tog from the previous row) * fphdc around next, bphdc around next * repeat between * * 32 more times. Do not join. (this side will remain loose until finished and sewn) (67)

Position pocket ~7 rows up from bottom hem. Play around with placement, pin into place, and sew together sturdily.

Bottom ribbing:

Attach yarn at either bottom seam…

Row 1: Ch-1, * fphdc around next, bphdc around next * repeat between * * around. Fphdc around last, join to top of first fphdc with sl st. (71)
