Crochet Turtle Neck Hoodie

Materials Needed:

2 skeins of Loops and Threads Soft Classic yarn (each skein approximately 354 yards), size 4 medium weight, in blush rose color.
Size J (6 mm) crochet hook.
A pair of scissors.
A blunt needle.
A tape measure.

Turtleneck Band:

Start:

Leave a long tail and create a slip knot. Chain 26 or until the chain measures about 8 inches in length.

In Row 1:

Single crochet in the second chain from the hook, then single crochet in each chain across. Total of 25 single crochets.

Row 2:

Chain 1 and turn. Single crochet in the first stitch back loop only. Continue single crocheting in each stitch across the row in the back loop only to create a ribbing effect.

Rows 3 to 70:

Repeat Row 2. Chain 1, turn, and single crochet in each stitch across the row back loop only.

Joining Turtleneck:

Fold the piece sideways so that it forms a ring and use the beginning tail to sew the edges together, forming the turtleneck. This should measure approximately 10.5 inches in length. Adjust the length by adding or removing rows if needed.

Crocheting the Hoodie:

Joining Yarn:

With the turtleneck band's seam at the center, join new yarn at the edge of the band to start crocheting the hoodie.

Row 1 (of Hoodie):

Chain 1 and evenly distribute 84 single crochets around the edge of the band, eyeballing as necessary to ensure even spacing. The goal is for this row to measure about 26 inches. Adjust the stitch count as needed for sizing.

For Row 2:

Chain 1 and turn. Single crochet in the back loop only of each stitch around.

Rows 3 to 47 (or until desired length):

Repeat Row 2 — chain 1, turn, and single crochet in each stitch around back loop only. Adjust the number of rows for desired length.

Closing the Hoodie:

After completing Row 47 or to your desired length:
Lay the piece flat and fold it sideways to line up the open edges at the top of the hoodie.
Sew the edges together to close the top of the hoodie. A mattress stitch can be used for a seamless join.
