How to crochet ” the four stitch hoodie” for girls

Absolutely! I can give you a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to crochet “The Four Stitch Hoodie” for girls. Since this pattern is based on a simple four-stitch repeat, it’s beginner-friendly but still stylish. I’ll break it down into materials, gauge, stitch explanations, and step-by-step instructions.


Materials Needed

  • Yarn: Medium-weight (worsted) yarn (approx. 400–600 grams depending on size)

  • Crochet hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) or size recommended for your yarn

  • Yarn needle for weaving in ends

  • Scissors

  • Stitch markers (optional)


Abbreviations

  • ch = chain

  • sc = single crochet

  • dc = double crochet

  • sl st = slip stitch

  • st(s) = stitch(es)

  • tog = together

  • RS = right side

  • WS = wrong side


Stitch Pattern – The Four Stitch Repeat

For this hoodie, the body and sleeves use a simple 4-stitch pattern:

  1. Sc in next st

  2. Dc in next st

  3. Hdc in next st

  4. Ch 1, skip next st

Repeat across the row, then turn. This gives texture and stretchiness perfect for a hoodie.


Gauge

  • 12 sts × 8 rows = 4 inches using the four-stitch pattern with worsted weight yarn and 5.0 mm hook.

  • Adjust hook size if needed to match gauge.


Sizes

  • Small: 3–4 years

  • Medium: 5–6 years

  • Large: 7–8 years
    Adjust stitch counts according to the chest measurement:

  • Small: 72 sts

  • Medium: 80 sts

  • Large: 88 sts


Instructions

1. Back

  1. Chain the number of stitches for your size (e.g., 72 for small).

  2. Work the four-stitch pattern across each row.

  3. Continue until the back measures 14–16 inches from the bottom for the small size (adjust for size).

  4. Shape the armholes: On the next row, skip 3 sts at each end and continue the four-stitch pattern. Repeat decreasing 1 stitch at each end every row until you have the desired armhole depth (approx. 5 inches).

  5. Fasten off when armhole depth is reached.


2. Front

  1. Chain same as back.

  2. Work in four-stitch pattern for the same length as the back.

  3. At the neckline (when front reaches 10–12 inches from bottom), split for the neck by working each side separately.

  4. Decrease 1 stitch at the inner edge every row until shoulder height matches the back.

  5. Fasten off.


3. Sleeves

  1. Chain 36 sts for small size (adjust for larger sizes).

  2. Work in four-stitch pattern until sleeve measures 12 inches from the cuff.

  3. Slightly increase 1 stitch at each end every 4 rows for shaping.

  4. Fasten off.


4. Hood

  1. Chain 60 sts (adjust to size).

  2. Work in four-stitch pattern for 10–12 inches.

  3. Fold hood in half and seam the top edge using sl st or whip stitch.

  4. Attach hood to neckline of the front and back.


5. Assembly

  1. Sew shoulder seams.

  2. Attach sleeves to armholes.

  3. Sew side seams and sleeve seams.

  4. Weave in all ends.


6. Optional Edging

  • Add a border around the hoodie, cuffs, and bottom hem:
    1 row sc, 1 row hdc for a clean finish.


This pattern creates a cozy, textured hoodie that’s easy to wear and customize with color stripes or appliques.
