"After you have cast off the stitches as instructed, you would have to move and reattach the yarn to continued with the pattern, this is not a "very easy" pattern, it is easy but not a beginner pattern."

"The problem is not with the pattern, your great-grandson either has a larger head or longer neck, but is easily customized by lengthening the hood to customize it for him, instead of going to 8 1/2 " before the shaping you would knit to 10 or possibly 12" then start the shaping."

"The instructions are quite clear, it is a pullover, that's why all the neck shaping instructions are there, no zipper, if a zipper was required it would be in the materials list."

"None of the stitches are used for the hood, the hood is made separately, all of the instructions for the front are shown in the pattern, including the 10 stitch cast off you mentioned in your comment. Maybe it wasn't there when you left your comment, but it is all there now."
