Beginner Hooded Scarf Crochet Pattern

This beginner hooded scarf crochet pattern is one of the accessories that you will want to have in your closet for when the cold weather hits. It is versatile and can be worn in many ways, thus ensuring that you will get lots of use out of it during the cold winter season.

Whether you live in moderate to extreme temperatures you will enjoy this hoodie as you can wear it over a sweater in moderate temperatures. And in extreme extreme temperatures, it can be an extra layer of warmth over a hat or an ear warmer.

This is a very simple and easy pattern; perfect for crocheting in front of the TV. Plus, it makes for a great gift idea for anyone who likes to stay extra cozy in the winter time.

Finished Size

The scarf measures about 60″ long, and when laying flat, the hood measures about 11″ high.

Although given in only one size to a small adult, it is customizable for both kids and adults. The pattern provides basic instructions on how to take measurements and customize it to your liking. Thus, the perfect pattern for making gifts for all your family and friends.

The Yarn

I used Bernat Super Value yarn, which is a medium worsted weight yarn. As for the hook, I used a J hook to give me a super soft and beautiful drape.

Choose any similar worsted-weight yarn. Bernat Premiium is a very similar yarn that you can substitute.

How It’s Made

The stitch pattern works up quick and easy. The only stitches used in this pattern are the chains and single crochet stitches, both of which are fairly easy to make, even for a beginner.

The crochet hooded scarf is worked in two pieces – the scarf and the hood – which are joined together after each piece is completed.

I worked the scarf lengthwise, but if you wanted to, you could also start off with fewer chains and work it across the width until you reach a desired length. I just happen to like the vertical and slightly textured rows in this scarf. Also, I used a larger crochet hook, which helps to create a nice loose fabric.

And if you don’t like the hood, simply make the scarf and enjoy it as is. That’s the beauty of hooded scarves you don’t have to attach the hood if you don’t want to. Another option is to take the scarf and sew the ends together for a super cozy cowl. Therefore, it’s easy to customize as you like.

And if you want, you can also make the hood and scarf all in one piece. My friend Cindy from My Recycled Bags wrote out the instructions on how to do that here: One Piece Hooded Scarf. She recommends that you start off with 210 chains in order to have a nice long scarf. Hence, it’s an easy, adjustable, and stylish scarf no matter what you choose to do.
