Is there a video on how to make this as well? Some parts I am confused on and would like clarification.
There is not a video that I am aware of. Perhaps I can help the confusion if you point me to the parts that need clarification.

I have a question regarding how to make the hood. 1st step you have 99 sc around, then it says to work in pattern following the back to 12 ins. That would make a cowl. In the pictures, it looks like each side is worked separately and stiches increase. Where are those instructions? How is that made? Thank you
Susan,
The 99 stitches are worked back and forth not in the round, folded in half, then sewn together at the top making a hoodie. I am unsure how this would make a cowl? I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have more questions.

I was wondering if there are pictures for as you go. I finished the back piece and it says to fasten off and then start shaping the raglans but I fastened off so I don’t know where I am. I feel very confused and some pictures I feel would be helpful.
