Under the Hoodie
Pattern Description from Stitch ‘n Bitch: “This sweater combines several of my favorite design elements: hoods, stripes, and a mix of deep red, pink, and orange. I love making sporty styles in soft, luxurious mohair-the yarn give the design more versatility. I wear this hoodie as a cover-up in my yoga and dance classes, and then pair it with a low-slung, funky skirt and my favorite red boots for nights out. I suggest knitting this sweater on a circular needle (even though it is knit flat), because you can join new colors at either end of the circulars-especially important when you work on stripes. Also, it is easier to knit the hood on circulars than on straight needles. You’ll see what I mean when you get there!”

Errata
Not an actually error, just the omission of a note to break and re-join yarn:
Pg 194, Shape Pocket section: Work as written (ends with a RS knit row).
Join Pocket to Sweater section: In order to follow these directions (starts with a RS knit row), it is necessary to break the yarn and re-join it so it is in position for knitting a RS row.
