NOTES

• The front and back of this piece are worked back and forth from the bottom up. After the shoulder seams are sewn, stitches are picked up for the collar, then the hood stitches are created by increasing in most of the collar stitches. The new stitches are placed onto a separate needle for the hood.

• When working the collar and hood, two sets of needles are necessary: one to work in the round for the collar and one to work back and forth for the hood.
