Notes

My original plan was to knit a Sleuthing but to my dismay it pooled rather badly once I got to the body.

A Little Hoodlum is my plan b, with a pocket just like the Sleuthing - Fingers crossed no pooling.

Plan C (thinking ahead of course!) will be a Young Einstein. - Didn’t need to happen :D

Note to self: Put a lifeline in @ last repeat of Row 9 incase Plan C happens

Grafting hood in Moss/seed stitch -

After finishing with row 1 you will be doing half a row more where you will start at mid point of the work working in Stockinette kitchener stitch until you have 7 stitches remaining on the needles.

(rs) * k1, p1 rep for total of 6 sts, k 27,(29, 31, 33, 34, 35,), (36, 38, 39, 41,41)

Fold cable in half ready to begin Kitchener in Stockinette: See pattern for video link.

Continue until you have 7 stitches on both needles.

Begin grafting as followed: All credits to Woollie-de-Rosie (thanks Rach for your help xx)
