GAUGE:
21 sts + 40 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter st (k every row). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION:
kfb (knit in front and back) Knit next st without removing it from left needle, then k through back of same st - 1 st increased. yo A yarn over (yo) creates a new loop on your needle and is worked by wrapping the yarn around your right hand needle. Do not use an existing stitch to make a yarn over. The finished yarn over will leave an open space in your knitting to create a buttonhole.

1. Body is worked in one piece then divided at armholes for Fronts and Back.
2. Sleeves are worked separately.

Baby Hoodie Reviewed by carol orlovsky on 2012-02-05
wonderful gift for babies, looks hard, but soooo easy! I give it to all the newborns, and mothers love. I have also been using wide satin ribbon to tie shut rather than buttons for the smallest size.
