Boy Hooded Sweater

From the beginning of my blog I already added a post of my hoodie sweater, it was my best experience in my life that I joined a crochet community, in these days I have no experience about the posting and  writing  the pattern, and I did not know that anybody see my post in my blog or not. Fortunately, I got a lot of friends and supporters that I must proud of them and know I am able to post hoodie sweater once again.  

This sweater I made for the 2 or 3 years old boy. It is starting to the neck line. If you want to make in the smaller size so you stop the increasing part before the completing. If you want to make the larger size you make some increasing row. When you finish the proper size, then join the front and back sides together and start working into the body of the sweater, and then make the sleeves in both sides. After completing the sweater make the hoodie of the sweater.

 I instruct you about the hood, if you don’t understand the decreasing part of the hood, you start work around the neck to the end, when you completing the hood sew the top, into the button space sew the zip or sew the buttons. I think you understand the instructions about the pattern I maid; if you don’t, always email me about my pattern I tried to help you. Try to make it.

I have already some gray color yarn, I added the second color black to completing the sweater. You can also make it in one color. I think color is the best thing in the crocheting field, bright colors always attract others. To starting the work always chooses the best color and best brand yarns for the pattern you make.
