Complete Crochet Pattern

Main Body Panels

 1: Foundation Chain

• Chain to the width for your size (sample: 39 for front, 55 for back) plus 2 extra chains.

 2: Foundation Row

• Single crochet in back loop (sc blo) across all stitches for added texture.

3: Tunisian Row

• Using Tunisian crochet, pick up loops across the row (Tunisian forward pass).
• Return pass: Yarn over, pull through two loops at a time, except at the first/last stitch for the edges, where you may pull through three for a decorative increase.
• Repeat: Continue alternating single crochet in back loop with Tunisian crochet rows, working up to 64 rows.

Panel Shaping and Shoulders

Front Panels:

• At the neckline/top edge, shape by decreasing at the end of every row (by working two stitches together or leaving one unworked) to form a gentle curve.

Shoulders:

• After shaping, work three rows of single crochet along the top shoulder edge for stability.

Repeat for the second front panel.

Panel Assembly

• Place the back panel right side up.
• Align front panels on top, right sides together.
• Sew shoulder seams using a tapestry needle and mattress stitch, whip stitch, or preferred seaming technique.

Side Seams and Sleeves

• Sew side seams from the bottom up, stopping to leave an opening for each armhole—size according to your measurements.

Sleeves:
 1: Foundation

• Chain 50 (for standard adult sleeve, adjust for size).

 Main Sleeve Body

• Work half-double crochet (hdc) across, incorporating increases by working two hdc in the first and last stitch as desired for shaping.
• Use the Tunisian technique: on each row, pick up loops as in Tunisian crochet, and return pass yarn over, pull through two loops at a time.
• Continue until the sleeve matches armhole circumference.

Shaping:

• When approaching desired upper-arm fit, work decreases at each row end (hdc2tog or hdc dec).

Cuff:

• Work a few rounds of single crochet in back loop only (sc blo), decreasing gradually across the round to tighten the fit.

Hoodie and Edging

• Work rows alternating half-double crochet (hdc) and double crochet (dc) until hoodie measures about 20 cm deep.
• Shape the top by decreasing at the end of every row (work dc2tog or alternating hdc2tog as necessary) to curve the hood.
• When finished, fold hood in half at the center and seam top closed for a neat crown.

Edging:

• Attach yarn at the front opening and work single crochet in back loop only (sc blo) evenly along both front edges and the lower hem.
• For additional structure, chain an extra border (one or two rounds) as preferred.
