This free pattern is designed to produce a
hooded scarf with the yarn of your
choice! You will need at least 400 yards
of each of your yarns.

• If you wish for the point of the hood to stand out (pictured), use yarn with more structure. I used a non-superwash heavy DK held together with mohair.
• If you would instead prefer the hood to lay flat, choose yarn with more drape. A superwash worsted held single, or a DK blend with alpaca, silk, or cotton will allow the point to rest on the neck.
• The pattern starts with the hood worked bottom up in stockinette, an integrated i-cord edge, and Kitchener stitch seam at the top. Then the scarf is worked longways in garter stitch, with a simple scalloped edge, to ensure adequate length. Each side of the scarf can wrap around the neck and drape down the torso, so when worn there are two loops below the chin.
• This pattern requires US10 (6.0mm) needles at least 36” (91cm) long. An even longer cable is useful for the scarf.

The bottom of the hood measures 8.5”, the top 13.5”, and the scarf 49” when folded. If you’re feeling adventurous, use the yarn and needles of your choice to achieve your own gauge, and recalculate the cast on, increase-to number, and scarf cast on!

This whimsical pattern would also show off 2x 100g skeins of hand-dyed variegated worsted weight yarn. Or use it as a stashbuster and hold 3 strands of fingering weight yarn together.
