Hook: G6/4.5mm hook or H8/5mm, use whichever can achieve gauge
Yarn: 4 worsted/medium 

Gauge: 2” = 6 sts in hdc
Difficulty: Easy

Materials: Yarn needle

Finished Sizes: Baby- 16", Toddler- 18", Child- 20", Adult- 22" (apx before stretching)

Special Stitches:

(sc, hdc)- make both a sc and a hdc together in the same st, then skip the next stitch. When working subsequent round, be sure to work in the sc sts of previous round.

Fhdc- chainless foundation half double crochet: a surprisingly easy technique for making the foundation row of a garment without chaining. Many helpful tutorials available online.

Hdc in 3rd loop- half double crochet in the third loop: on the wrong side of hdc stitches, directly below the top “v” of the stitch, is a loop that looks like a long, slightly diagonal but horizontal bar. Make a normal hdc stitch in this loop, (instead of the “v” as normal). As you work, the “v” will push out sideways creating a “knit look” effect.

Note: Stitch Counts for different sizes are listed in pattern in ascending order as follows- B (T, C, A) for Baby, Toddler, Child, and Adult.
