      Most baby hoodies are worked in several parts: the body, sleeves, and hood, which are then sewn or crocheted together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Step 1: Create the Back Panel<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • CH to the desired width (based on baby\u2019s chest size).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • HDC in 2nd CH from hook and across. CH 1, turn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Continue in HDC rows until reaching the desired height.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Make the Front Panels (2)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • CH same as back panel width divided in half.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Work in HDC rows, leaving a gap at the top for neck shaping.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
