what is a foundation sc?

here's a video for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A83tzk49DzI

 

it's a foundation row/SC row combined. I really like it as it gives me a better idea of how long/wide my foundation is!

That is quite striking!

This scoodie is so attractive, I decided to make one for myself. I am using Lion Brand Homespun - mostly because that is what I have at the moment! lol Just wanted to check... I am gathering that the final dimensions are approximately 60"x10"? Since the yarn I am using is heavier, I will be doing fewer rows so the approximate measurement will really help. Also, I saw the post about the foundation chain and was able to complete that (I really don't recommend that technique with Homespun yarn) but how do you do the loops?

 

The project is very easy and is working up quickly. I will really enjoy the finished project. Thank you SO much for your pattern. (Oh, I love the yarn you used.)

Love this pattern! I made one as a gift for a co-worker's daughter, and one of her friends now wants one.......they are crazy over the loop stitch detail on the front of the hood!

Cute!

Very nice, the loop stitches are an unusual idea.
