Post st: Refers to any FPdc, FPdtr, or BPdc.

Cable: (worked across 12 post sts) Sk next 8 post sts, FPdtr around each of next 4 post sts, working in front of post sts just made, FPdtr around 5th-8th skipped post sts in order, working in front of post sts just made, FPdtr around first-4th skipped post sts in order.

Tip: Consider each set of 4 post sts a strand, and cable consists of 3 strands. Place a large safety pin or locking st marker around each strand to help locate sts when working return row in cable, i-cord: Ch 3, insert hook in 2nd ch from hook, yo and pull up lp, insert hook in next ch, yo and pull up lp, *drop last 2 lps from hook and hold in hand, ch 1, [insert hook in next dropped lp, yo and pull through dropped lp placed on hook] 2 times; rep from * to make i-cord.

Main patt (multiple of 4 sts + 2): Ch 26 for gauge swatch.

Set-up row: (RS) Ch2-lp (see above) in 2nd ch from hook, *sk next ch, dc in next ch, sk next ch, ch2-lp in next ch; rep from * across, turn.

Row 1: Ch 1, ch2-lp in first ch2-lp, *BPdc around next dc, ch2-lp in next ch2-lp; rep from * across, turn.

Row 2: Ch 1, ch2-lp in first ch2-lp, *FPdc around next post st, ch2-lp in next ch2-lp; rep from * across, turn.

Row 3: Ch 1, ch2-lp in first ch2-lp, *BPdc around next post st, ch2-lp in next ch2-lp; rep from * across, turn. Rep Rows 2-3 for patt.

Notes

Hood is worked first, then first scarf is continued. Second half of scarf is picked up at opposite side of hood and worked to end. Then back portion of hood is worked and sl st seamed to form hoodie. I-cord tie is encased when front edging is worked.

Rnd 2: Ch 1, *sk next sc, dc in next sc, working behind dc just made, sc in skipped sc; rep from * across, attaching tie as foll: When working around front of hood from where bottom of one ear will be to over the head to the bottom of where the other ear will be, work as usual except encase i-cord of tie when working sc (do not encase I-cord under dc), sl st in first dc to join.

Do not unnaturally stretch when blocking; just insert finger into center of each cable and move finger in a small circular motion to redefine any cables that need to be evened out.
