PATTERN NOTES:

• This hood is worked flat, turning at the end of each row, and then seamed together at the top with a sl st.
• The chain 1 for the turn at the end of the rows NEVER counts as a first st. However, the chain 2 does count as the first hdc. CHECK YOUR GAUGE to ensure proper fitting.
• The picture shows a small adult sized hood working three rows in each color and using the first color for the border rows.
• The stitch count for each size is one st less than the original ch.
