_As I was late for the 'Instructables Warm' Contest, I decided to create a 'Speed Knitted' Hoodie! So I grabbed a Fluffy Chunky yarn I never had knitted with {cause I live in the Caribbean}, and a regular colorful 4 strand yarn. And Started day & night. 2nd pic. shows the Reversible ver.

__Ribbing St. - Used is 2x2 [*P2, K2*].
__Selvedge is Simple: Start rows passing TBL the 1rst st of the Row [don't knit]. [TBL= thru back loop]
At the end, Knit the Last st. of that same row. Do same on both sides.
~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~
__I Casted On 18 + 2 Selv. sts. = 20 total. The Casting On was knitted upon the #35.
No Pattern was used. I went measuring myself as went along. *[After I finished, found out 12 + 2 would have been perfect.]
The Ribbing was done with both yarns together.
> To pass the sts from the #35 ndl to the #15 is easy; but to pass those sts from the #15 to the #35 is slower & tricky as
the thinner yarn can drop un-noticed.
> 6 Rows of Rib were knitted. 3 in the #35. Other 3 in the #15.
Last row will be with #15, take the twin ndle #15 & with both knit a non Rib row. Tie & cut the Color yarn.
> From now on the knitting is with the Cream color Chunky in Stockinette St. Knit 22 1/2" long. Which is not slow thanks to the #35 ndl.
> To re-initiate the Ribbing at the other end, invert the order of the steps of the 1rst Rib.
Ex.: Tie the Color yarn. First do 2 rows as Stock. St. with the 2 #15's.
Start the 6 Rows of Rib. Use #35 ndl. 1rst. Once finished, Cast Off as if Ribbing also for elasticity.
> Proceed joining method you prefer. Start at front.
If you want to do Single Cro's around the Face edge, do so loosely using like a #N ndl.
To make it Reversible, don't use yarn. Use Sewing poly. thread doubled & match Selvedge loops & tie them together, pair by pair. Good Luck! ..... And "et VOILA"
P.D. #1 If you can't find #35 ndls, make your own!
P.D. #2 This is my 1rst Project. It's not perfect; but remember I'm just Human! ;-)
