Here is the written pattern: www.windingroadcrochet.com/wanderers-crochet-hooded-scarf-free-pattern/ Gauge and size are in the description box. Feel free to adjust where the buttonholes are and the overall length of the scarf. Happy Crocheting!
I had a hard time with the turning around part and had to refer to the comments. I do think it would do well to add a section explaining the center seam better. The rest was fab!
For those of your having trouble with the hood, I know she says don’t sew it together but that’s what I did and it fixed all the problems I was having. Also the button holes didn’t line up quite right for me, if you want more of and endless look crochet the last button hole a bit further towards the end of the scarf! Thank you otherwise for this tutorial tho!
When you work row 1 you work on both sides of the hood in one continuous row. It is like working a bag but you leave one side open, because we don't want a bag on our head. I am glad you figured out what worked for you. For the scarf I made I have a tail that hangs over the shoulder about 12 inches. You would need to move the button holes to make it more seamless looking but you might need to shorten the scarf too for that.
A dear friend lives in upstate NY and goes outside a lot and this would be perfect for him to be outside, whether for fun or for whenever the pup needs to be out there, too. Thank you!!
I love this idea, I started making it but have no clue how the hood is supposed to come together! Looks like I'll end up with a scarf with a big square on the end. Am I missing something?
You want to make sure that on Row 1 you are working double crochet into both sides of the starting chain. So you create your start Chain and work a Double crochet into each chain (46 double crochet so far), then you turn your work and continue working row 1, by working double crochet into the opposite side of the starting chain. You will work another 46 double crochet into the opposite side of the starting chain for a total of 92 double crochet in row 1. By working a continuous row into both sides of the starting chain, this allows our hood to be joined at the top and does not need to be sewn.
For a video reference check out 1:54, you will notice the written instructions at the top of the screen say that Row 1 is continued with an additional 46 double crochet.
@@WindingRoadCrochetyour video directions are not very thorough when it comes to helping us understand that we have to go all the way back around with 92 DC total. You don’t demonstrate that on the video, you just verbalize it. Please consider adding that to your video so we all “get the idea” of what the rows are like.
So I have been looking on how to make a hood for a very long time there's Hood with scarves so I used your Hood part to make a hood by itself and I am attaching it to a blanket I am not making the scarf parts I love how you demonstrated the crochets and I am very excited to see how my project comes out I've already started I'm halfway there woohoo thank you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🧶
So to create the hood shape, we're essentially starting with a foundation chain and then crocheting in a "U" shape back and forth around it, and as the "U" expands it will create a natural crease for the hood? I have attempted this pattern 3 times already and I would like to begin my 4th attempt with a clear understanding.
Thank you for commenting this! In the video it initially looks like once you do the opposite side of the chain you chain 2 and start just going down that one side. It’s not very clear that you have to work in that U shape. Totally explains why mine is just a square and doesn’t resemble a hood at all. A video showing the whole piece being worked without editing things out would have been so helpful.
I wish you could show a demonstration of putting it on & buttoning it. I am little confused. Or show the final piece layed out on the table. In slow motion
Would this pattern work with the linked double crochet? I started the hood and found the yarn I'm using really shows the holes and I worry it wont be warm enough. I pulled up your linked double crochet tutorial and was hoping to use that stitch instead. Do you think it will still turn out?
Yes, maybe. The linked double crochet it just a bit smaller gauge. So I would just work it with a linked DC and as you work check to make sure you are happy with the size of the hood and the length of the scarf. If is a little small then add some extra chains.
I'm a complete novice at crocheting so excuse my ignorance lol. I have a question about the optional row. Does it go around the entirety of the hood or just the one side ?
It goes around the entire hood. Since we worked on both sides of the chain in row one, there is no sewing this hood together, so when you work the optional row, you will work up the hook, back down the hook and be on the other side of the hood when you start the next row.
I really love your end-product, but unless I totally missed your instruction (even bought the pattern) I'm rather confused. I didn't see your instruction on how to actually sew the sides to make the hood. It would be nice if you demonstrated that part. Sorry. Confused.
There is no sewing at all for the hood. In row one you work into both sides of the chain to create the joined top of the hood. You then lengthen the hood all as one completed piece. Then you extend one side to create the scarf, work rows to make the scarf thicker and the fasten off and sew on a button. The only sewing for the entire pattern is sewing on a button.
I don't get it either!!! It doesn't look right no matter what I do!!! Looks absolutely nothing like the picture!! I'm so disappointed as this was going to be a gift
@@Brarshsmom3 At first I was a little confused as well......what it is is that you crochet on the other side of round one. You know how when you ended the row, row 1,, you then turn but you start crocheting on the opposite end of row one. This video is a basic idea but not the idea. So one side will be curved when you are done and one side will have the double crochets exposed. It begins to actually shape itself into a hat because you will have to continue to work the 92 stitches all the way around. It took me two tries but I was determined to learn. th-cam.com/video/Fc8ksDP9oII/w-d-xo.html
Im a beginner and was happy to find a simple pattern with a video tutorial. I purchased the PDF on etsy. However i am noticing that the written instuctions dont include steps that are shown in the video. For example it looks like you are only crocheting in one loop of the DC in row 2 and this is not stated anywhere in the pattern. Also it looks like you are chaining 2 every other row but on the off rows are you starting in the 3rd stich from the hook?
I will review the pattern. In the pattern rows 27-32 say BLODC, that stands for back loop only double crochet. At the end of the row you should CH2, and turn the work unless we are extending the row, which only happens once, or working the optional row which is a chain 1 because it is single crochet.
This was in the begining of row 2. Since I posted this comment I have completed the hood. My dimensions are very different from yours even though my gage is accurate. I have only crocheted 12 rows and my work is about 3 feet long where as you say to crochet 26 rows that is supposed to come out to 12.5inches? The more I work on this pattern the more confusing it becomes. The math just doesn't add up. I should also mention that I have a very expierenced crocheter helping me work this pattern and they are just as confused as I am.
I’m going to make this with lion brand mandala yarn in griot, weight 3 with a 5mm hook, any suggestions for starting chain or should I just eyeball the length and go from there?
Eyeballing the length will work. You can do the same when you start the scarf section. Just be aware that you are working into both sides of the starting chain and the starting chain acts as the very top of the hood.
Just started on this… do you have any videos on your technique for your working hand grip? I’m suffering from carpal tunnel, this is my first project back and I am OBSESSED with your left hand! 😂
I have a hard time understanding the second row. How am I going to DC 92 in the second row? Should I keep crocheting on both side of the first row? Will you explain how I crochet 92 and not 45 in each row? Thanks
You should have 92 DC at the end of the first row. This is because we work stitches on both sides of the starting chain. If you go to 1:59 point in the video you will see that the instructions say to turn and work an additional 46 sts.
@@WindingRoadCrochet This was my question too. I have worked both sides of the first row. ON the second row when you reach the point where I turned the chain, do I crochet across the turning point. It seems that this would grow and I would need to increase my stitches. the instructions are not clear here.
@@michelleeddy815 can I ask what you did because I am having a hard time with the same thing. I did row one where I work each side so have 92 sts, but then for row 2 when I hit 46 sts do I chain 2, turn and then make the jump like we did in row 1 to work another 46 sts down the opposite side or am I starting row 3 and doing 46 sts like we would expect?
@@acosenza2 oh man, I made this last year and I can't remember what I did. I think I just kept working both sides of the chain. I am sorry I am not any help here.
Hi! My hooded scarf is in progress and i'm loving it. I have a question though... why do we have 2 buttonholes but only 1 button? Or we have 2 buttons but you just don't show it in the video?
Options! I like to be able to button things in more than one way. You are welcome to only work one button hole, just make sure to place it exactly where you want it.
I am trying this pattern and i am also strugling with the hood. After some comment reading, i determined that after creating my chainxand doing row 1 double crochet and then repeating on the opposite side i get 1 row of double crochet on both sides. I then continue to repeat this pattern and it seems like the back of my hood increases in stitches as i crochet around the back side in the "U" shaped method also my center pint, the single crochet looks to be off by a row. Maybe this will fix by ending on an odd numbered row and not an even number row.
Hello amazing hooded scarf! Is the hood two pieces sewn together? It says that the zise is approx 14 x 12 inches but that only covers just over half my head for the big open style. Thx!
When you work row 1 you work on both sides of the chain, this creates the joined section at the top of the hood make sure you have 92 double crochet at the end of row one. The measurements are for the hood when it is laying flat, two layers thick. So it is 14 inches deep and 12 inches high.
It is a simple pattern and would easy to adjust the size. You will mostly need to adjust the starting chain, the number of rows for the hood and the extension chain.
Hi! I just started this patter but I’m having a bit of trouble and I’d love some insight. I noticed that after the initial 92 crochets have a neat and tight line running up the row but as I have continued the pattern the line no longer appears and it looks like standard rows of DBC. What am I doing wrong?
My gauge and yarn are smaller than the example, so my hood is like...child-sized after 23 rows. If I increase the number of rows by x number, would I just add the same number (x) for the chain that starts the scarf?
What I would do is chain until you are happy with the depth of the hood, then work rows until your hood is as tall as you would like it to be. (Remember that the scarf is attached to the hood and adds to the hood height. Then make your extension chain and chain the length you would like the scarf to be. It is a very flexible pattern.
I am afraid not. You could chain the depth you want for the child's hood, then work rows until it is tall enough. Then chain out again until you have the length of the scarf you need. If you use 3/4 inch buttons you don't have to make button holes, just push the buttons through the existing stitches.
Hi! I am in the process of making this project. I am very petite and feel like the 16 rows of the hood I already have is way too big, never mind 7 more. Can I stop at the hood with only 16 rows and then continue on with the scarf with how it’s written in your pattern?
Yes absolutely. Also when you make the scarf if you feel it is too long you can make it shorter by working less chains. Just make sure it will wrap around you neck twice.
Would this still work with a chunky yarn? Like a 5 or 6 weight? I love these lion brand thick and quick colors but wonder if it'll drap as well as yours 🤔
It depends on how many stitches you have per row. If you worked the full hood then you could just sew up the back of the hood. The pattern is made by creating a foundation chain and working both sides of the chain (in row 1) in a single continuous row. So at the end of row 1, you will have 92 double crochet. If you only have 46 double crochet per row then you only have half of the hood. (1:59) You would either need to start over or make a second hood half like you just made and sew the two pieces together. That choice is yours.
Confused, when you end row 2, how do you end up with DC 92? I have 46. “Row 2-23: CH2,turn, DC 92” Also “Optional Row: CH2, work 2 sc into side of each DC., (92 sc). I don’t get 92 sc. what am I doing wrong? Lynda
In row 1 we worked into both sides of the starting chain. So 46 DC down the first side of the chain, then we rotate the chain so we can continue to work another 46 DC down the second side of the turning chain. Row 1 is worked in one single row. It is similar to starting a project where you are working in joined rounds, but we are not joining the beginning and the end of row one because we are making a hood that needs the opening in the front.
I got most of the way through this and realized I'd done it completely wrong. I tried following the video again, but there's something really confusing in the "natural hood shape" Like.... I crochet on both sides of my foundation chain.... But then only 1? What creates the fold? I'm so.lost and irritated lol
You crochet on both sides of the foundation chain in row one to create 92 double crochet. Then you turn and work back and forth over those 92 sts. Every row for the hood should have 92 stitches. Working both sides of the foundation chain makes the join at the top of the hood so there is no need to sew the top of the hood.
When you crochet on both sides of the foundation chain it should be crocheted all as one continous row that has 92 DC total. You crochet down one side of the foundation chain, turn and crochet down the other side so that is all one continuous row. Then when you work back and forth you are creating the hood. The hood is joined at the top where the foundation chain is and it is joined in the back of the hood because we turned and worked a continuous row around the foundation chain.
@@WindingRoadCrochetnormally though in patterns when it says “turn” your work it means literally turn the project back the other way and work so it would be only 45 stitches down each way. So I get why everyone is confused bc I was too but now reading your reply I get it. I’m glad I didn’t pay for this bc I would have been super mad. I don’t get it either by your pattern. Was not very clear. & I can’t see you doing it in the video either. You mean go around the other way down the chain. Not “turn” your work. You should re write the pattern, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing though and clarifying!
I was super confused about this but eventually it clicked. Took me after 23 rows and ending up with a square I realized I made a huge mistake. The video never shows the actual hood forming it is always out of the cameras view that uneven edge you see is the bottom of the hood. Where I messed up started with Row 2, I had a lot of yarn to unravel. I started round 2 I only did 46 stitches and then did my next row of 46 right on top, which was wrong. You need to continue “around the curve” 2:43 ( this is the only time you see the curve where the hood will start to form) you created during the last row which is the other 46 stitch’s. And then you start your next row of 92 stitches all the way back around.
I'll be making this soon in the UK but the equivalent price for this yarn is $15...I'll be going for something cheaper but I wish it was a better price here!!!
Sorry but I don't understand how is the hood shape formed without sewing it. The camera doesn't show that step when you finished the hood or it's very close.
So you chain 48, then double crochet into each chain starting with the third chain from the hook, then turn your work so you are working down the other side of the chain and work another 46 stitches. So Row 1 has a total of 92 stitches.
The hood is worked as one piece. It is not sewn at the top. It is like working in joined rounds, like what you would do for a purse. The difference is that we want a hood and not a bag. So we are not joining the end of the row. So when you chain and crochet down one side of the chain, still working on the same row 1, you turn so that you are working into the opposite side of the chain and work double crochet into the opposite side of the chain. This is all worked as one continuous row. So there is no need to sew the top of the hood or the back of the hood together. It might have been clearer if I had you work 4 DC into the last chain so that you can see how you swing around the end of the chain and continue working down the other side of the chain.

You want to make sure that on Row 1 you are working double crochet into both sides of the starting chain.
So you create your start Chain and work a Double crochet into each chain (46 double crochet so far), then you turn your work and continue working row 1, by working double crochet into the opposite side of the starting chain. You will work another 46 double crochet into the opposite side of the starting chain for a total of 92 double crochet in row 1.
By working a continuous row into both sides of the starting chain, this allows our hood to be joined at the top and does not need to be sewn.

I'm a complete novice at crocheting so excuse my ignorance lol. I have a question about the optional row. Does it go around the entirety of the hood or just the one side ?
It goes around the entire hood. Since we worked on both sides of the chain in row one, there is no sewing this hood together, so when you work the optional row, you will work up the hook, back down the hook and be on the other side of the hood when you start the next row.

Hi! I just started this patter but I’m having a bit of trouble and I’d love some insight. I noticed that after the initial 92 crochets have a neat and tight line running up the row but as I have continued the pattern the line no longer appears and it looks like standard rows of DBC. What am I doing wrong?
We are working all in double crochet so I am not exactly understanding the what is going wrong.
My gauge and yarn are smaller than the example, so my hood is like...child-sized after 23 rows. If I increase the number of rows by x number, would I just add the same number (x) for the chain that starts the scarf?
What I would do is chain until you are happy with the depth of the hood, then work rows until your hood is as tall as you would like it to be. (Remember that the scarf is attached to the hood and adds to the hood height. Then make your extension chain and chain the length you would like the scarf to be. It is a very flexible pattern.
@@WindingRoadCrochet thank you!
i loved making this so perfect for my husband. Do you have a pattern for children?
I am afraid not. You could chain the depth you want for the child's hood, then work rows until it is tall enough. Then chain out again until you have the length of the scarf you need. If you use 3/4 inch buttons you don't have to make button holes, just push the buttons through the existing stitches.
Hi! I am in the process of making this project. I am very petite and feel like the 16 rows of the hood I already have is way too big, never mind 7 more. Can I stop at the hood with only 16 rows and then continue on with the scarf with how it’s written in your pattern?
Yes absolutely. Also when you make the scarf if you feel it is too long you can make it shorter by working less chains. Just make sure it will wrap around you neck twice.
Would this still work with a chunky yarn? Like a 5 or 6 weight? I love these lion brand thick and quick colors but wonder if it'll drap as well as yours 🤔
Thicker yarn will result in a larger hood and scarf. You will need to adjust the pattern quite a bit to compensate for the larger yarn.
I'm having a little bit of a hard time understanding a couple of things can someone maybe help
I can try to help, but you will have to explain where you are having trouble.
@Winding Road Crochet I actually ended up figuring it out on my own but thank you so much for getting back to me quickly
Hello I'm new to coche and Im sure I mess up and now I have a big square for the hood how can I fix this?
It depends on how many stitches you have per row. If you worked the full hood then you could just sew up the back of the hood.
The pattern is made by creating a foundation chain and working both sides of the chain (in row 1) in a single continuous row. So at the end of row 1, you will have 92 double crochet. If you only have 46 double crochet per row then you only have half of the hood. (1:59)
You would either need to start over or make a second hood half like you just made and sew the two pieces together. That choice is yours.
Confused, when you end row 2, how do you end up with DC 92? I have 46. “Row 2-23: CH2,turn, DC 92”
Also “Optional Row: CH2, work 2 sc into side of each DC., (92 sc). I don’t get 92 sc. what am I doing wrong? Lynda
In row 1 we worked into both sides of the starting chain. So 46 DC down the first side of the chain, then we rotate the chain so we can continue to work another 46 DC down the second side of the turning chain. Row 1 is worked in one single row.
It is similar to starting a project where you are working in joined rounds, but we are not joining the beginning and the end of row one because we are making a hood that needs the opening in the front.
No habra en español....????
You can adjust the closed captions to be in spanish
I got most of the way through this and realized I'd done it completely wrong. I tried following the video again, but there's something really confusing in the "natural hood shape"
Like.... I crochet on both sides of my foundation chain.... But then only 1? What creates the fold? I'm so.lost and irritated lol
You crochet on both sides of the foundation chain in row one to create 92 double crochet. Then you turn and work back and forth over those 92 sts. Every row for the hood should have 92 stitches.
Working both sides of the foundation chain makes the join at the top of the hood so there is no need to sew the top of the hood.
When you crochet on both sides of the foundation chain it should be crocheted all as one continous row that has 92 DC total. You crochet down one side of the foundation chain, turn and crochet down the other side so that is all one continuous row. Then when you work back and forth you are creating the hood. The hood is joined at the top where the foundation chain is and it is joined in the back of the hood because we turned and worked a continuous row around the foundation chain.
@@WindingRoadCrochetnormally though in patterns when it says “turn” your work it means literally turn the project back the other way and work so it would be only 45 stitches down each way. So I get why everyone is confused bc I was too but now reading your reply I get it. I’m glad I didn’t pay for this bc I would have been super mad. I don’t get it either by your pattern. Was not very clear. & I can’t see you doing it in the video either. You mean go around the other way down the chain. Not “turn” your work. You should re write the pattern, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing though and clarifying!
Hi is the scarf on one side only?
Yes, it is all on one side of the hood then wrapped around the neck and buttoned in place.
Thank you very much for replying! Its a beautiful pattern may you have a good day!
I was super confused about this but eventually it clicked. Took me after 23 rows and ending up with a square I realized I made a huge mistake. The video never shows the actual hood forming it is always out of the cameras view that uneven edge you see is the bottom of the hood. Where I messed up started with Row 2, I had a lot of yarn to unravel. I started round 2 I only did 46 stitches and then did my next row of 46 right on top, which was wrong. You need to continue “around the curve” 2:43 ( this is the only time you see the curve where the hood will start to form) you created during the last row which is the other 46 stitch’s. And then you start your next row of 92 stitches all the way back around.
I try to much clearer with this in more recent videos. But you are correct, you are working in a 'U' shaped row.
@ no worries once I understood it I don’t think I could have explained it any better hah, it’s looking like a hood now 😂
I'll be making this soon in the UK but the equivalent price for this yarn is $15...I'll be going for something cheaper but I wish it was a better price here!!!
Any weight #4, medium yarn will work. It can also be called worsted weight, aran yarn and I believe double knit.
Subtitulo en español por favor
Just go into your closed caption setting and change the language.
Sorry but I don't understand how is the hood shape formed without sewing it. The camera doesn't show that step when you finished the hood or it's very close.
When you work the first chain, you crochet into both sides of the chain, that creates the joined top of the hood.
So you chain 48, then double crochet into each chain starting with the third chain from the hook, then turn your work so you are working down the other side of the chain and work another 46 stitches. So Row 1 has a total of 92 stitches.
@@WindingRoadCrochet ok. I think now i get it. Thank you for answer!
You are very welcome.
@@WindingRoadCrochet I think I messed up 😭 I will have to freestyle and fold in half and sew to make the hood
NICE CROCHET FRIEND I ENJOY//LK
thanks
You didn't show us how to shape the hood at all.
And those notes on comments to crochet on the opposite side is merely vague:/
The hood is worked as one piece. It is not sewn at the top. It is like working in joined rounds, like what you would do for a purse. The difference is that we want a hood and not a bag. So we are not joining the end of the row.
So when you chain and crochet down one side of the chain, still working on the same row 1, you turn so that you are working into the opposite side of the chain and work double crochet into the opposite side of the chain. This is all worked as one continuous row. So there is no need to sew the top of the hood or the back of the hood together.
It might have been clearer if I had you work 4 DC into the last chain so that you can see how you swing around the end of the chain and continue working down the other side of the chain.
I am doing this hood, but mine looks short with 48 chains in the beginning. Yours looks a lot longer
Did you work into both sides of the chain. Row 1 should have 96 stitches in one continuous row.
🤩
👍
I made my scarf first. Then the hood.
That works as well, I wanted to be able to make it all in a single piece without any sewing. (Except for the button).
I was just thinking of a hooded scarf 🧣 lol xx
How convenient!
