PATTERN NOTES
This hoodie is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up and split at the armholes to work the back and fronts separately. The sleeves are knit flat from the bottom up and seamed. After seaming, stitches for the hood and button band are picked up and worked flat.

Please note, Baby Dream DK is a self-striping yarn. When breaking and rejoining yarn, be sure to visually color match the point at which you’re rejoining, if desired. This may require you to wind off yarn, but the results are well worth your effort. To achieve matching sleeves, you may wish to purchase an extra ball of yarn.
