Every cool Skellie needs a hoodie. This one begins at the top of the hood, working flat until after the neck ribbing where it is joined in the round. Yoke is shaped using raglan construction. Sleeves are then put on waste yarn to work separately later. Body is worked in the round. A provisional lifeline is used to add a kangaroo pocket. Sleeves are worked to length desired. Hoodie top is seamed (if needed) and hoodie edge is picked up and finished off with ribbing.
