This November we are participating in Ricochet and Away’s Ring Your Neck Scarf Challenge. The guidelines were pretty straightforward, make a scarf, crocheted or knitting must be kept to 20% or less of the final product, get creative and try something new! We created a hooded scarf for Miss M, here is how.
My little model was so not in the mood for her photo shoot. Something about these pictures seemed old time-y to me. So I helped them along a little.
The scarf/hood combo we made is super easy! You’ll need a chunk of fleece, accent yarn, and 30 minutes.
You’re going to cut 2 rectangles, these will be your scarf. Our rectangles measure 3″x24″. Make sure your rectangles stretch runs width wise. If you want to be able to wrap your scarf around more make your scarf longer.
Now you need your hood. You’ll again be cutting 2 pieces, with the stretch running front to back NOT top to bottom.
You can trace from an existing hood, or use a pattern piece you have on hand. Add a couple inches straight down from where there chin will be, this will bunch around their neck and keep them cozy!
Sew with right sides together. Simply stitch your scarf ends into the seam in that portion under the chin. Then sew your hood right sides together from the back of the neck to the forehead. Flip it right side out!
Fleece won’t fray or unravel so there is no hemming or extra finishing needed.
Donna went in and added the crocheted edge to our hooded scarf. It was our new skill for this project. We like how it turned out, adds a little something sweet.
I like this tied in a bow, but the scarf can be simply wrapped, tied in a knot or styled however you would like.
I tried to bribe with a cookie for a smiling picture. I got a picture with a cookie…
Any interest in a tutorial breaking down adding a crocheted edge to your fleece hooded scarf?
Happy Sewing,
Rachel and Donna

Thank you! It was fun to make!
That is so cute! Seems like it would be so much warmer than just a hood and scarf as there wouldn’t be the gap in between the two.
I think it will really keep that above the collar back of neck space much warmer!
This is absolutely adorable! Love it
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a sweet comment – I greatly appreciate it. I hope you have a lovely day!
