Playing with stripes ;-)

Heavily modified version.

So here is what I did:
I used I-cord cast on;
I didn’t cast of stitches in armpit;
I neither cast of stitches in front where in original pattern hoodie rib is worked - I knited those stitches as left part of front and again, picking those stitches as a right side of front;
For hoodie I picked around 74 stitches - I don’t remember exactly how much;
Then I finished selvedge stitches of armhole and hoodie by applying I-cord.
Voila!

Stripes recipe:
5 rows of MC
1 row of CC1(red),
2 rows of CC2(blue)
1 row of CC1,
5 rows of MC,
