Sew the back seam edges of hood so that the hood shapes over the head. Placing the drawstring-Roll face edge of hood over drawstring and sew loosely creating a rolled tunnel for the drawstring to slip thru. Assemble all parts of sweater starting with shoulder seams. Sew in sleeves. Make one continuous seam from cuff of sleeve to bottom hemline of coat. Leave opening in side seam where you want the pocket to be placed approx. 6 in., (7, 7) inch [15 (18, 18) cm] opening. Place hood onto neckline of coat, lining up the front edges and ease into the neckline. Be sure to leave the drawstring edge free from seam. Add your choice of coordinating buttons. Sew buttons onto coat with matching yarn, leaving a ‘finger width’ spacing under the button. Use the extra yarn to wrap around the yarn that holds the button. Knot on back side of coat edge. This spacing under the button will allow the bulky knit of coat to lay flat after the coat is buttoned. Pockets: Cut some coordinating fabric like flannel or jersey knit to form a pocket. This should be (4) pieces approx 8 in x 10 in [20 cm x 25 cm]. Sew (2) pieces together leaving one 8” side open. Hem the open edge to outside of pocket.
