Directions
This starts at the neck edge and is worked in the round to the bottom edge. The hood is added last.
Instructions are written for color changes/stripes as shown in the main sample. Substitute colors as desired.
1. With an I hook and orange worsted weight yarn (or color of choice), ch 41, sc in the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. (40sts)
2. Ch 1, turn, 2hdc in the same st, hdc 9, *2hdc in the next st, hdc 9*, repeat to end of row. (44sts)
For steps 3-7, work the sts between the posts of the previous row instead of in the st. This helps create a smoother fabric. To do this, insert the hook just below where you would for a regular st. Check your st count to make sure you are getting all of the sts, especially the very last one.
3. Ch 1, turn, 2hdc between the first two posts from the previous row, hdc 10, *2hdc between the next 2 posts,
hdc 10*, repeat to end of row. (48sts)
4. Ch 1, turn, 2hdc between the first two posts from the previous row, hdc 11, *2hdc between the next 2 posts,
hdc 11*, repeat to end of row. (52sts)
5. Ch 1, turn, 2hdc between the first two posts from the previous row, hdc 12, *2hdc between the next 2 posts,
hdc 12*, repeat to end of row. (56sts)

7. Ch 1, turn, 2hdc between the first two posts from the previous row, hdc 14, *2hdc between the next 2 posts, hdc 14*, repeat to end of row. Sl st in the first st of the row to create a circle. This is the new beginning of the round. (64sts)
8. Since the rest is worked in the round, you can work in the st. If you prefer the look of working between the posts you can continue to do so.
Ch 1, 2hdc in the same st, hdc 15, *2hdc in the next st, hdc 15*, repeat to end of round, sl st to join. (68sts)
9. Ch 1, 2hdc in the same st, hdc 16, *2hdc in the next st, hdc 16*, repeat to end of round, sl st to join. (72sts)
10. Finish off the current yarn and change to white worsted weight yarn (or color of choice). Ch 1, 2hdc in the
same st, hdc 17, *2hdc in the next st, hdc 17*, repeat to end of round, sl st to join. (76sts)
11. Finish off the current yarn and change to blue worsted weight yarn (or color of choice). Ch 1, sc in the same st and in each st to end of round, sl st to join.

16. Ch 1, 2hdc in the same st, hdc 29, *2hdc in the next st, hdc 29*, repeat to end of round, sl st to join. (93sts)
17. Ch 1, 2hdc in the same st, hdc 30, *2hdc in the next st, hdc 30*, repeat to end of round, sl st to join. (96sts)
18-20. Ch 1, hdc in the same st and in each st to end of round, sl st to join.
21. Ch 1, *hdc 10, hdc2tog*, repeat to end of round, sl st to join. (88sts)
22. Ch 1, *sc 9, sc2tog*, repeat to end of round, sl st to join. (80sts)

14. Repeat the previous step for an additional 14 rows. Finish off, leaving a long yarn tail.
Fold the top edge of the hood in half, right sides together. With a yarn needle, use the yarn tail to sew the layers together. Open the hood back up.
With an I hook and matching yarn, sl st in the bottom of the V. Sc evenly around the opening of the hood, sl st in the first st to join.
Add a pompom to the back point of the hood.
