The sun came out! The storms have passed us by early, I'm so excited. I guess I don't have to chew off my arm from boredom anymore ;) Plus, the rain passing will bring us cool weather to replace it.
This sweet scoodie (hooded scarf) recipe is highly customizable. The one shown is going to a tween-ager so it is a little smaller than one you would make for yourself but no worries, it is super easy to adjust in size.
What you need:
Worsted weight yarn (364-600 yards, but closer to to 400)
Any sized hook that works with your yarn, I used a J (6.00 mm)
Scissors
Yarn needle
Basic knowledge of granny squares
Scarf:
Your scarf part of you scoodie should reach from fingertip to fingertip. You might need a friend to help you measure. Decide how wide you would like your scarf, mine is 4 inches wide since it is for a 12 year old. 4-6 inches would be a good width.
Chain the required length making sure it is in a multiple of three. First row is sc, each row after is worked in 3dc shells. The last row will be worked in sc. The scarf is worked just like a Granny Stripe, if you are unsure how to do this check out the link. (Note: it is in UK terms so a dc is a sc in US terms)
Hood:
Make 2 matching granny squares. My squares were 8 inches but you may wish to do 9, 10, or even 11 inch ones. (great Granny Square tutorial). These squares would look amazing in a super fancy granny with a beautiful center like a flower.
Join squares along one edge. Open up work and work several rows of sc along one of the long edges, I did 5.
Fold and join edge opposite to sc. Now it looks a lot like a hood.
Pockets:
If you want pockets make two granny squares the same width as your scarf. If you want the pockets taller, add a few rows of sc along one edge just like you did on the hood. Hold on to these, we will sew them on last.
Assembly:
Fold scarf and find the center and mark. Sew/crochet hood to scarf.
Choose if you would like your pockets on the inside or outside of your scarf. Sew/ crochet on pockets.
Have fun!
Did you know I have an Etsy store to sell sample items from the posts? All the money goes back into yarn and upkeep of the website.
