The Mountain Trail Hooded Pocket Scarf or “Scoodie” is a free crochet pattern on my blog!

An easy, beginner-friendly crochet pattern with a lovely woven look!

The Mountain Trail Pocket Scarf is made from four rectangles - one for the main body of the scarf, one for the hood and two for the pockets.  Very easy construction and beautiful woven look crochet stitch with an easy to memorize 4 row stitch repeat!

The rectangles for this easy crochet scoodie is worked by alternating colors from two yarn cakes or by working both ends of the same yarn cake, switching colors every second row.  

Using self-striping yarn with this technique really provides interesting texture and a unique woven look to your finished hooded crochet pocket scarf.  You could certainly choose to alternate two solid colors instead of the self-striping yarn I used for another option as well.

And, even though you are working color changes throughout no worries about extra ends to weave in.  You will not cut yarn when changing between yarn cakes – drop unused yarn to be picked up 2 rows later.  Yarn floats will be covered during the seaming process.
