      \ud83e\udde5 Pattern Construction: Step-by-Step<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      1. Yoke (Top Down – Raglan)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Start with a chain and set up for raglan shaping. Increases are made at 4 points (raglan lines) to shape the sleeves and body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Foundation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Chain enough for the neck circumference based on size.
        Example (9-12M): CH 48
        [Divide: Back: 14 | Fronts: 8 each | Sleeves: 9 each | 4 raglan points]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Raglan Rows:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Row 1: DC across, increasing at 4 raglan points (place markers).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Repeat DC rows, increasing at raglan lines until desired yoke depth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          2. Separate for Body and Sleeves<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Once yoke depth is reached (e.g., ~4.5″ for 12M), stop increasing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Work across back and fronts, skipping sleeve stitches. You can chain a few stitches under the arm for width.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Continue working in DC or HDC rows down the body to desired length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Finish bottom edge with 2-3 rows of SC for a neat edge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            3. Sleeves<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Attach yarn at armhole.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Work in rounds (or rows if seaming) around the armhole.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Decrease slightly to shape the arm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Continue until sleeve is correct length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Finish with SC edging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              4. Hood<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Attach yarn to neckline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Work rows of HDC or DC across the back neck and up to form the hood.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Increase slightly at back center if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Once hood is tall enough, fold and seam the top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                5. Edging & Front Band<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Work SC rows evenly along both front edges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Make buttonholes if adding buttons every 5\u20136 rows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • You can also attach a zipper instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  • Use striped yarn<\/strong> or color blocks<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Add ears or spikes<\/strong> on the hood for a fun touch<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Crochet pockets<\/strong> or elbow patches<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Line the jacket with fleece<\/strong> for winter wear<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
