This Scarfie yarn was in my stash since last winter. I regretted buying it and wondered what I would make with it. I was convinced I made a bad choice until I actually started making the hood for this scarf.

  

It was a little hard to see my stitches in the black parts but other than that the yarn was nice to work with, and I love the look of single ply yarns.

  

I was surprised to see that this yarn was labeled Bulky weight. I would consider it close to a worsted weight yarn in thickness. What do you think of this yarn?

 

  Crochet Hooded Scarf Pattern

Materials

1.Worsted weight yarn.The scarf pictured was made using Lion Brand Scarfie in color Charcoal/Aqua and was closer to worsted weight in thickness even though it is labeled a Bulky weight.
 
2. Hook- I (5.5mm)
 
3. Yarn needle for weaving in the yarn tails

 
Size

One size fits all women. Hood is 12 inches high and 9 1/4 inches wide when laid flat. The scarf is 70 inches long and 5 inches wide. You can easily increase the length of the scarf by adding more chains or increase the width of the scarf by repeating the rows in sequence.

 

 

 Gauge

16 1/2 dc sts(5.5 repeats of the stitch pattern) = 5 inches

 Stitch Explanation

 

Front post half double crochet and Back post hdc: See my tutorial for the front post double crochet and back post double crochet stitches here. The hook is inserted in the same way for fphdc and bphdc, but in place of the dc you work a hdc. That is the only difference.

Crochet Pattern

  
Row 1: Ch 39 + 2 for turning chain. 1 hdc in 3rd ch from hook, 1 hdc in each chain across until 1 ch is left, 5 hdc in the last chain. Do not turn your work, but continue to work along the opposite side of the foundation chain as shown in pic 1 above. 1 hdc in each free loop of the foundation ch to end. Make sure you insert your hook under the point where 2 loops cross each other to avoid leaving holes in your work, turn.———81 sts

Row 4: Ch 1, 1 sc in same st as ch 1, 1 sc in each st across to end, turn.———235 sc

  

Repeat rows 3 & 4 until your scarf is 5 inches wide and you end in a sc row. Fasten off.

  

Giant Tassels (Make 4)

 
A 3 1/2-inches tall cardboard piece was used for making the tassel and each tassel was made of 28 wraps. You can see a video on making tassels here.

  
Finishing

 
1. Weave in any tails left.
2. Attach the giant tassels to the 4 corners of your scarf.

I am new to crocheting and I love this pattern but I am really struggling with row 3 of the hood, I do not end up with 40 stitches at the end. What am I doing wrong?

I'm a little confused on the turn in row1, do you mean turn and go across opposite side like in rounds??

You basically work in a "U" around the foundation chain.
