How To Crochet A Hooded Scarf

Introduction

Welcome to a step-by-step guide on crocheting a beautiful hooded scarf using an easy and unique stitch pattern. This project uses a back loop and side loop stitch, perfect for crocheting cozy scarves, shawls, and blankets.

Materials Needed

• 250 grams of yarn, specifically Aldi’s Knitting Pearl Ombre or a similar yarn
• A 7mm crochet hook
• Tapestry needle for sewing

Foundation

1. Create a Foundation Chain:

• Begin with a chain of your desired length. There is no specific stitch count, making it adaptable for different projects like scarves or blankets.

Stitch Pattern

2. Half Treble Crochet (UK) / Half Double Crochet (USA):

• Yarn over, insert the hook into the second chain from the hook, yarn over again, pull through all three loops on the hook. This forms the base of the scarf.
• Continue this pattern across the row.

3. One Row Repeat:

• Chain 1 and turn your work.
• Begin each row with a half treble crochet into the first stitch.
• Alternate between a back loop and a side loop stitch for the rest of the row.
  • The back loop stitch involves inserting the hook into the back loop.
  • The side loop stitch requires inserting the hook into the loop on the side of the stitch.
• End each row with a standard half treble crochet to maintain a straight edge.

Crocheting the Hood

4. Fold and Sew to Create Hood:

• Fold your finished scarf in half.
• Measure approximately 10 inches down from the fold for the hood.
• Sew along this edge, ensuring the seam will be on the inside.

5. Adding a Border to the Hood:

• Work a row of half treble crochets evenly up the side, around the top, and down the other side of the opening.
• Repeat for five rows, decreasing one stitch at the beginning of each row to create a tapered edge.

Optional Pockets

6. Adding Pockets:

• Fold the ends of the scarf upwards.
• Stitch the sides to create pockets, which can be used for warming hands or holding items.

Conclusion

This versatile pattern allows for creativity in size and use, making it suitable for both children and adults. The unique stitch pattern creates a textured, rib-like finish, adding both warmth and style to your winter wardrobe.
