NOTES
CONSTRUCTION
You will knit this piece from the bottom up, creating Hand Pockets by increasing at the edges. You then fold the triangular increased sections and work a Modified 3-Needle Bind Off to seam. You will then continue knitting in rows for the Hood, and finish by folding the stitches in half and working a Modified 3-Needle Bind Off to join at the top.
