Customization Tips – Make It Your Own
Resizing hood
When resizing the hood, you can widen the hood by adding more stitches to the left and right of the hood, start from the center join of the back and count stitches outwards, ensuring you have the same count on both sides. Same applies with narrowing the hood, simply reducing the stitches on the left and right side. Note this needs to be done when starting the hood.
To make your hood height higher, you can add more rows to the pattern rows, or lower the height by not completing all the rows mentioned in the pattern.
Sleeves
Final sleeve length can be resized by adding more rows or shortened by not completing all the rows as mentioned in the pattern. Best to fit the joined jacket to see what fits and suits your liking. The width of the sleeve is determined when making the first two arm / bust panels, take note of the arm width when completing these panels, if you wish to have a more tight fit on the sleeve, you can remove the final few rounds from this pattern section.
Adjusting the bust and back
Note when doing so you can add bust and back length in the bust/waist section. If you wish to have a wider sleeve you can add more rounds to panels 1 & 2. Just be sure that both panels have the same amount of rounds. Also take note to amend your bust/waist section to fit your size. You can resize the length of the jacket by removing or adding rows to the base of the jacket, if you wish to have a short or mid waist length jacket, you can skip this section, or if you wish to have a longer coat type jacket you can extend the length of the jacket here.
Note in the is pattern there are two sections which determine the inner inner bust size, - the Extend the inner bust , waist and back of both panel A & B is best for extending or decreasing the bust size.
The second is when finishing off the jacket, so if you wish to extend your inner bust size, you can do so there. The final waist size is determined by section - Extend the inner bust, waist and back of both panel A & B - you can add more rows for a large size, or remove rows for a slimmer fit.

Yes — a hood is included! The instructions show how to crochet and attach it, with options to adjust height and width for a cozy fit.
How much yarn do I need for the jacket?
