Ziggy Hood

This crochet pattern is in English. *This listing is a PDF TUNISIAN CROCHET PATTERN for the Ziggy Hood, NOT a finished item. It is written in U.S. standard crochet terms.* ABOUT THE PATTERN AND DESIGN Worked top-down, this Tunisian crochet hood has a visually striking stitch pattern created by alternating stitches and strategic color changes. The hood can be worked with any odd-number of yarn colors, but 3 or 5 colors work best. The design looks more complicated than it seems, but this pattern is not recommended for beginners.
