Crochet Hooded Scarf
Materials:
- Black and red yarn (and gray for demonstration)
Scarf Basic Pattern:
Start with black yarn:
- Create a slip knot, then chain 18 (or more for a wider scarf, but ensure an even number).
Row 1:
- Skip the first chain from the hook. Single crochet in the second chain and each chain across. At the end, chain one and turn.
Row 2:
- Skip the first stitch (which is the chain stitch from previous row). Start a single crochet in the second stitch, but switch colors to red in the middle of the stitch (when you have two loops remaining on the hook). For the rest of Row 2, alternate between single crochet and chain one, skipping a stitch in between, and making sure to carry and crochet over the unused yarn.
Switch colors back to black:
- when you have three stitches left. Use the last single crochet in the row to switch colors, carrying the yarn as before.
Row 3:
- With black, chain one and turn. Single crochet in the second stitch from the hook and the next, making sure to pull up and crochet over the red yarn. Continue single crocheting in each stitch and chain space across the row.
Repeat row 2 and 3:
- alternating colors as described, for the length of the scarf. Aim for approximately 50 inches (127 cm) or to your personal preference. When desired length is achieved, cut the yarn and fasten off.
Creating the Hood:
Determine the start of the hood:
- On the finished scarf, measure and mark approximately 19 inches (48 cm) from one end. This section will become the hood.
Fold the scarf in half to find the middle:
- of the hood section, then mark with stitch markers around 9.5 inches (24 cm) from the fold, translating to about 34 rows from the fold.
Starting the hood:
- Attach black yarn at one marker and single crochet to the other marker. This creates the base row for the hood.
Repeat the scarf pattern:
- (rows 2 and 3) up the hood, switching between black and red (or black and gray for visibility), until the hood measures about 12.5 inches (32 cm) tall.
Closing the hood:
- Fold the hood in half with the right sides together. Using black yarn, single crochet across the top to join the hood together. Fasten off and weave in all ends.
Finishing touches:
- Weave in all loose ends and block the scarf and hood to finalize the dimensions and shapes.
