4mm Hook
3 Pom poms
UK terms. Made for age 18mths - 2 yrs
Scarf
Start with the length of the scarf. Chain 161
miss one ch and dc1 in every stitch. Turn ch1, dc in every stitch to the end of the row. Continue to make a length of double crochet with one turning chain at each end for between 8-10 rows. (160)
Chain 31 stitches
miss one chain and dc30 times. Continue for 27-30 rows, depending on how deep you want the hood, using a turning chain at each end.
(30 sts)
Work pointed pixie end as follows:
row 1: Ch1, ss15, dc15 turn
row 2: ch1, dc15, ss15 turn
row 3: ch1, ss17, dc17 turn
row 4: ch1, dc13, ss17 turn

Repeat for the other side of the head piece ensuring you have the fabric the right way round.
Sew two head pieces together along the curved edge and across the top of the crown.
Front face border
Rejoin yarn at right hand side of front edge of hood. Dc4 rows. This makes a smooth seamless line around the face. You could add a picot edge, scalloped edge or your favourite shell border here now if you wish.
Join the hood to the centre of the scarf with dc stitches. Add pom poms or you could continue to put picot or shell around the scarf(you may need more than 300m yarn if you want to do this)
Hooray! a hooded pixie scarf. You could also make it in other colours for boys too.
Happy Making. I really must make something now for a loved one rather than a stranger to balance my inner crochet turmoil.

That turned out very well. Scarf hats are such a good idea.
ReplyDeleteYou are good at this! It's beautiful. I really like it in cream, too. Isn't it irritating when people have no idea how much time and effort goes into handmade garments? I've been caught out there before. But I'm sure they will be delighted with it. xx
ReplyDeleteI think this is awesome...as it is an all in one piece that would save me so much time trying to dig out all of their many winter pieces and it is adorable to boot! Look at you just whipping this up!!! And for a stranger.....you are so kind Jo! Happy making this week Jo! Nicole xo
ReplyDeleteLately I have seen photos of hooded scarves and been thinking about how practical they are ... and now you have whipped one together that is both clever and practical! Thanks for creating and posting, Jo :) xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Jo. Thanks for sharing. Bee xx
ReplyDeleteThis hooded scarf looks like a great idea! That way the little usually uncovered part of the neck won't get cold :)
ReplyDeleteTake care

I'm sorry that you have had inner crochet turmoil, but it has produced some beautiful results in this hat! I love the pom pom on the point, that is just too too cute. xx

ReplyDeleteHugs,

Good on you for making it, but I'd recommend joining the 'Selfish Knitters' group on Ravelry, if nothing else you can share your "I couldn't say no" experience! Hard isn't it though? I try and get onto another subject or just say I'm too busy
ReplyDeleteIs there a way this pattern can be used for adults as well?
