Notes before you start
- Source: "Aloha — Herringbone Coat and Hat in "Shark Blue" (Hat)" (No. 817), Juvenile Styles: Original Designs for Infants and Juveniles, Volume 4, Juvenile Styles Publishing Company (Mary Hoyer, editor and designer). Public domain in the USA.
- As printed — materials: Needles—1 Pair American Standard No. 4.; Material—Heather Knitting Worsted. Coat—6 four ounce skeins. Hat—1 four ounce skein.. Gauge: 2 Patterns to 3 inches, (Coat); 5 sts to 1 inch, (Hat)..
- Modernisation note: Original is written in US crochet terms; kept as US terms (sc = single crochet, dc = double crochet).
- Modernisation note: Spaced abbreviations (s c, d c, Y O) written as sc, dc, yo; "wrap" written as yo; "thru" written as "through"; "needle" (used for the crochet hook) written as "hook"; "tape thru" (a cord through the beading) written as "lace through"; "picking up back loop/thread/st" written as "in back loop only".
- Modernisation note: "Cut yarn" / "break thread" written as "fasten off"; "attach yarn" / "fasten thread" written as "join yarn".
- Modernisation note: Long printed paragraphs split into one row, round or step per line; stitch order unchanged.
- Modernisation note: Row and round numbers added where the original prints "NEXT ROW", "NEXT 5 ROUNDS" or "Repeat last 2 rows"; the numbering follows the printed sequence and does not change it.
- Modernisation note: Only the crocheted hat is transcribed; the Aloha coat it was printed with is knitted. The printed needles and yarn amounts for both pieces are kept under original materials.
- Modernisation note: "This will be center back" written as "The end of the rnd will be center back"; "2nd short row" labelled Row 2; "decreasing 5 sts to the rnd" written as "decreasing 5 sts in each row" because these are short rows.
- Modernisation note: The hat is printed in the booklet as a size-12 design for an older girl; it is included here with the rest of the book's crocheted designs.
- Modernisation note: Check: no crochet hook is printed for the hat. The hook suggested is a starting point only; match the printed hat gauge.
- Modernisation note: Check: Row 1 works "from marker to marker" without saying whether across the 64 sts at the front or the 96 sts through center back; Row 2 (45 sts from center back on each side) suggests the rows are worked across the front. Left as printed.
- Modernisation note: Metric conversions added.
