Step by step what we will do

 ς       First we work the ribbing.

·       Then we crochet down the side of the ribbing to make the body of pullover.

·       Then we add edgings in both sides of front and back piece and we create sleeves at the same time.

·       We work the hood as a separate piece, a simple rectangle.

·       We sew the sides, then the shoulder seams and finally the hood to the neckline matching center of hood to center back neck.

*We crochet 2 pieces like this for front and back.

*One piece for the hood 

 This pattern starts from bottom up and it’s a rectangle.

Chain 7 for all sizes

Row 1: insert your hook in 2nd ch from hook and work a hdc, hdc across in every st untill the end of row( 6 hdc). Turn.

Row 2: Ch 1 (does not count as hdc), hdc into the back loop of first hdc of prev row, hdc in back loops across, turn (6 hdc)

Repeat row 2, 26 times more (28, 30)

  You can count your rows of hdc with the ridges that are created, every ridge is 2 rows of hdc, the first ridge is only 1 row.

Now we are going to crochet down the side of our work, turn your work so the side is facing up, we will sc in each side edge space.

BODY PATTERN

Front piece, make one more for the back

Foundation row:ch1,sc in every side edge space, so we work 26 sc(28.30) , turn

In this foto you can see the foundation sc row. In every side edge sp of ribbing rows we sc once.

Row 1:ch1, * sc in 1^st sc of prev row, dc, in next st, (its also a sc of prev row)* rep from * to * till the end of the row( you end up with a dc) 26 sts(28, 30), turn

Row 2:ch1, * sc in 1^st st of prev row( it is a dc), dc, in next st, (it’s a sc of prev row)* rep from * to *un till the end of the row( you end with a dc) 26 sts(28, 30), turn

First size:row 3-30 rep row 2

Second size: row3-32 rep row2

Third size: row 3-34 rep row 2

You have made the body.

Now we are going to crochet down the side of our work, turn your work so the side is facing up.

RIGHT SIDE EDGING

Note: work the same edging on the other side also, joining yarn to the left up edge.

Row 1: ch1(does not count as hdc), hdc in every side edge space, so we work 30 hdc(32, 34) till the beginning of the ribbing and 6 hdc , (1 in every ribbing st,) 36 hdc(38,40) in total,turn.

Row 2: ch1, hdc in 1^st hdc of prev row, hdc across in every st, 36(38, 40) hdc, turn

We will not reach the bottom of the pullover , we will crochet only for sleeves

Row 3: ch1, hdc in next 14,(15, 16) sts 14, (15, 16)hdc,turn Rows 4-7 rep row 3 for all sizes or to desired length

Sleeves are done.

HOOD

Make a Fhdc row of 17(19,21)sts

(This is half  the neckline perimeter)

Note: if you make a fhdc row then work row 2 right after Fhdc  row

If you choose not to begin with a fhdc row, then:

Chain 18(20,22)

Row 1: hdc in 2^nd ch, hdc across in every ch( 17(19,21) hdc. Turn

Row 2: ch1, hdc in first hdc of prev row, hdc in every hdc 17(19, 21) hdc, turn

Rep row 2 for 31(35,37) times more

This is the length of the hood and you can work less or more rows, measuring from the side neck to the top of head and back again to the other side neck.

So for first size you reach untill row 33

So for second size you reach untill row 37

So for second size you reach untill row 39

*Fold the hood in half along back seam edge and sew center back seam.

SEWING

Put the front piece onto the back and sew from the bottom side till the end of the sleeves.

Then sew the shoulder seams, in each shoulder

First size: 11cm (4,3 in) in each shoulder Second and third size: 12cm (4,7 in) in each shoulder

So we have an opening for the neckline approximately for:

First size: 22cm(8,66 inches for front neckline and the same at the back neckline

Second size: 23cm(9 inches)

Third size:24cm(9,44 inches)

Match center of hood to center back neck.

Attach yarn to right side bottom edge if right-handed, or to left side bottom edge if left-handed.   You will sew   facing the inside of neckline.

HOOD DRAWSTRING

Make a tassel and attach it to the top of back seam of hood

Make a drawstring just chaining a foundation chain 85-90 cm (33 -35 inches) long. With your hook attach the drawstring around the face.

TASSEL

To make a tassel take a book or a cardboard which is 18 cm (7 inches) long and wrap the yarn around the cardboard 20 time

Sneak a piece of yarn under the front section of yarns, tie a tight double knot, the knot will pull the yarns close together.

Cut the bottom yarns close to the edge of cardboard

Chain a chain 85cm (33 inches) long, this is the draw string to put around the hood.
