Afterthought Hooded Scarf
This design is inspired by the afterthought heel technique. Instead of a hat and shawl, you will only need this one accessory to keep both your head, and neck warm.
The scarf is knitted with DK yarn, which I handdyed using Koolaid. It can easily be substituted with a worsted weight yarn, or create a lighter version with sock weight yarn. Pattern includes a formula to recalculate your stitch count, for any length scarf you want!
Also included, are versions for a two color hooded scarf, and a hooded cowl.
Finished Measurements: Length 104 in (264 cm); Shawl width 7 in (18 cm).
Yarn: 3 skeins of Willow Yarns Daily, in colorway natural, DK Weight, 100% Superwash Wool, 284 yds/100 gr.
Yarn requirements for 2 color option: 600 yds for scarf and 250 yds for hood.
Needles: 40 in (100 cm) size US 4 (3.5 mm) and size US 5 (3.75 mm) circular needle for scarf, 32 in (80 cm) size US 5 (3.75 mm) circular needle for hood. Optimal choice would be an interchangeable needle set to easily switch between sizes.
Notions: Stitch markers, tapestry needle, waste yarn for afterthought hood, dpns (optional).
Gauge: 17 stitches and 23 rounds = 4 inches in Stockinette stitch on larger needles.
Notes:
• The scarf is worked sideways.
• The hood is created by using a technique similar to the afterthought heel sock technique.
• Pattern includes written and charted directions and schematics.
I want to say thank you to my fantastic test knitters who helped polish this pattern and providing some great samples of the scarf.
