Steps
Pick a weight 4 to 5 yarn and a 6 mm hook. Match the hook to the yarn label if your yarn is thicker, then make a slip knot and chain 60 to 70 stitches to start the scarf width.
Lay the chain flat and check it is not twisted. Place a stitch marker in the first and last chain so you can count rows later.
Work rows of double crochet back and forth until the scarf is long enough to wrap around your neck and hang down the front, about 150 to 170 cm.
Fold the scarf in half lengthwise and try it on. Mark where the hood opening should sit across the middle of the scarf.
Join the yarn at one marker and work a rectangle of double crochet rows across the middle section to build the hood, adding rows until it reaches the top of your head.
Fold the hood rectangle in half with right sides together. Whip stitch or slip stitch the back seam closed with your darning needle or hook.
Turn the hood right side out and pin the bottom edge to the scarf. Sew the hood to the scarf along that edge, working through both layers.
Weave in all loose ends with the darning needle. Try the scarf on and adjust the hood seam or add a few stitches if it sits unevenly.
Tips and common mistakes
Count your stitches at the end of each row so the scarf edges stay straight.
Keep your tension loose on the starting chain so the scarf does not pull tight at the bottom.
Try the hood on before sewing the final seam so you can fix the fit while it is still easy to change.
Questions
How much yarn does a hooded scarf need?
The creator uses less than one Caron cake. A larger scarf or a thicker yarn will use more, so buy two cakes if you want a longer scarf.
Can I make this if I only know basic stitches?
Yes. The pattern uses simple double crochet rows and a seam, so you only need to know how to chain and double crochet.
How do I make the hood fit better?
Measure from your forehead to the back of your neck and stop adding hood rows at that length. Try it on before sewing the seam.
