UPDATE: I received reports that the link to this pattern was broken and as of 12/17/15 it should be working again. Let me know if you continue to have trouble!

This hooded scarf is worked in simple aligned shell stitch, with the foundation chain forming the back of the hood. It is worked flat around the foundation chain until the hood is the necessary width, then the neck pieces are worked off of the bottom shells on either side of the hood. The hood itself is meant to be a little loose.

This pattern is for confident beginners.

You will need…

• 100-300 yards worsted weight yarn size
• K/6.5mm hook yarn needle stitch
• markers (optional) 2 to 4 large
• buttons (optional)

Gauge is not important but a pattern is provided to become familiar with the stitch.
