Chunky Hooded Infinity Scarf

This crochet hooded scarf is one of my recent favorite projects.  I just love how it turned out.  It is so warm and cozy!  This would make a great Christmas gift! 
I used Yarn Bee Fleece Lite in Rustica.  The color is amazing and I love the feel of the yarn.  It works up really well.
I think I am going to have to make a second one because both me AND my daughter are going to want to wear it...once it finally cools down!

Join hood with scarf either by a length of yarn and using a whip-stitch, or by joining yarn and evenly sl-st’ing across.

  3. I have a question when you fold the back of the hood in half, where the beginning stitches are together is that long ways or in a circle? I'm new to crocheting and it doesn't make sense. your reply would be appriciated. super cute pattern for xmas gifts

    1. I just added a diagram and hope that it clears up any confusion. Once your hood is finished, you fold your sides together and then sl-st across the starting ch row.

  4. I am confused. Is this a hood with two scarfs attached to each side of the hood, or a hood with one long scarf? Or a really large loop with the back side of the hood stitched shut, and the rest of the loop gets looped around your head/neck?

    1. The last one. :) It is an infinity scarf (large loop) with the hood stitched shut in the back and stitched to the edge of the scarf. Sorry for the confusion!

  5. I found the chain 42 a little shallow. Would any even nunber work for the hood...like chain 50 or 60?

    1. Yes, any number would be fine! One of the things I love about crochet is that you can adjust any pattern to your liking. :)
