This Hoodie is worked flat in pieces and seamed. Worked in reverse stockinette stitch with the purl side facing outward, the stripe transitions show in a softer way than if the stockinette side were to face. Do not cut yarn when changing colors, allowing the unused color to hang loosely at the side of the work.
