Abbreviations

• st = stitch
• hdc = half double crochet
• sl st = slip stitch
• RS = right side
• WS = wrong side

Step 1: Foundation & Body (Bottom-Up)

1. Foundation Chain:
   • Adult Medium: Chain 131. Adjust for other sizes based on the written pattern guide.
   • Tip: Always hdc into the second chain from the hook.
2. Work Half Double Crochet Rows:
   • Row 1: Hdc across each stitch in the foundation chain. You should end with 130 hdc stitches. Chain 1, turn.
   • Rows 2–57: Continue working rows of hdc (130 stitches per row). Chain 1, turn at the end of each row.
   • Final Output: You will have a large rectangular fabric.

Step 2: Forming Armholes

1. Mark Placement for Armholes:
   • Count 40 stitches inward from both sides of the rectangle and place a marker.
   • This creates the front lapels (40 stitches each) and the back piece (50 stitches).
2. Work Each Front Lapel:
   • Join yarn at one corner where you placed a marker.
   • Hdc across the 40 stitches on each lapel. Work 23 rows from Row 58–80.
   • Fasten off and repeat on the opposite lapel.
3. Work Back Piece:
   • Join yarn at the marker (in the center). Hdc across the 50 stitches in the back piece, increasing to 52 stitches by crocheting into marker stitches.
   • Work 23 rows (Rows 58–80) to align with the lapels.
   • Final Output: You should now have three separate pieces—two lapels and one back piece.

Step 3: Shoulder Seams

1. Align & Sew:
   • Line up one lapel with the corresponding back shoulder seam. Count inward 17 stitches from the outer edge and place a marker.
   • Using a mattress stitch (or preferred stitch), sew the lapel to the back shoulder piece for each side.
   • Ensure the seams are secure and neat—these will form the armholes.
2. Verify:
   • Check that you have 23 armhole stitches on each side remaining after sewing.

Step 4: Attaching the Hood

1. Join Yarn for Hood:
   • Join yarn at the left lapel edge. Hdc across each lapel and back neckline.
   • In total, you should have 40 stitches on each lapel and 52 stitches across the back neckline.
2. Work the Hood Rows:
   • Row 1: Start with hdc across all stitches (132 total). Chain 1, turn.
   • Rows 2–40: Continue working rows of hdc without decreasing (optional: include decreases for a narrower hood).
3. Seam the Hood:
   • Fold the hood flat (WS together). Seam the top edge using a mattress stitch.
   • Ensure the seam sits on the WS, so it’s hidden when the hoodie is flipped.

Step 5: Sleeves

1. Foundation Row:
   • Join yarn at the bottom edge of the armhole. Start with an hdc stitch to close the gap.
   • Work 48 evenly spaced hdc stitches around the armhole. These include 23 rows on each side plus 2 stitches for top/bottom gaps.
2. Work Sleeve Rows:
   • Row 1–4: Work hdc rows without decreases.
   • Rows 5 onward (depending on sleeve length): Decrease evenly every few rows by hdc two stitches together (as described in the video).
   • Final sleeve should taper naturally toward the wrist.
3. Seam Sleeves:
   • Turn the jacket WS out again and use the long tail from the sleeve to seam it together with a mattress stitch.

Step 6: Ribbed Edging with Buttonholes

1. Foundation Row:
   • Join yarn at the base of the front opening. Work one hdc into each row along the lapel edges and around the hood edge.
2. Ribbing Rows:
   • Row 1: Alternate front post hdc and back post hdc for the entire row.
   • Row 2–4: Continue ribbing, ensuring to alternate post stitches (FP becomes BP in the next row, and vice versa).
3. Add Buttonholes:
   • Place markers for buttonholes along one lapel edge (e.g., every 11 rows).
   • At each marker, chain 1 (to create a hole) and skip a stitch, then continue hdc stitches as usual.
4. Fasten Off:
   • Secure edges and weave in any loose ends. Attach buttons to the opposite lapel, ensuring alignment with chain spaces.

Conclusion
