Hi everyone, welcome to this knitting tutorial! Today, I’m excited to show you how I made this cozy hooded scarf—perfect for styling and staying warm during those chilly days.

If you’re interested, sit back, relax, and let me walk you through the process!

Materials Used: For this project, I used two skeins of jumbo size 7 yarn from Loops & Threads with the recommended needle size of 9mm.

Weight: Jumbo (7)

Contents: 100% recycled pre-consumer acrylic

Skein Weight: 5.3 oz. / 150 g

Yardage: 82 yd. / 75 m

Here’s a breakdown of the steps:

  1. Creating the Neck Section:
    • I cast on 20 stitches for the neck piece, aiming for a width of 29 cm.
    • I knitted in garter stitch until the piece reached 52 cm in length.
    • Note: If you’re using different yarn or needles, make sure to adjust the stitches to match 29 cm in width.
  2. Making the Hood:
    • For the second piece, I cast on 18 stitches to achieve a width of 26 cm.
    • I knitted until the piece reached 60 cm, forming the main part of the hood.
    • Tip: The key here is that the length of the smaller piece should be about twice the width of the larger piece.
  3. Assembling the Pieces:
    • I folded the wider neck piece in half horizontally and joined the edges together using a tapestry needle and the remaining yarn from the cast-off.
    • Then, I folded the second piece’s corners toward the middle and placed it on top of the neck piece, creating a slight overlap of 2-3 cm in the front to form the face opening.
    • I used the remaining yarn to sew the two pieces together and aligned the fabric as I stitched.
  4. Finishing Touches:
    • I sewed the back of the hood by folding the remaining section and using the yarn tails from both pieces.
    • After completing the sewing, the hooded scarf was ready to wear!

Since I used thick yarn, this project only took a couple of hours to complete.
