      Stitch Pattern \u2013 The Four Stitch Repeat<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      For this hoodie, the body and sleeves use a simple 4-stitch pattern:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Sc in next st<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      2. \n

        Dc in next st<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      3. \n

        Hdc in next st<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      4. \n

        Ch 1, skip next st<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Repeat across the row, then turn. This gives texture and stretchiness perfect for a hoodie.<\/p>\n

        \n

        Gauge<\/strong><\/h2>\n

                        Add a border around the hoodie, cuffs, and bottom hem:
                        1 row sc, 1 row hdc<\/strong> for a clean finish.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
