- Continue HHDC until the next stitch marker. Repeat the HHDC, chain 2, and HHDC.
- Complete for a total of 12 rows.
Body of Jacket:
- Connect for sleeve holes by joining chain 2 spaces and skipping stitches between markers.
- Work HHDC across until reaching the next armhole.

Ribbing Along the Bottom:

- Work DC ribbing up the front, around the hood edge, and down the other side.
