How to Knit a Hooded Scarf197

Hooded scarves are a stylish and cozy way to keep warm during the winter months. They are also relatively easy to knit, making them a great project for beginners. In this tutorial, we will show you how to knit a hooded scarf using basic knit and purl stitches. We will also provide instructions for adding a fringe to the scarf.

Materials:* Worsted weight yarn in two colors (about 300 yards of each color)
* Size 8 (5mm) knitting needles
* Tapestry needle
* Scissors

Instructions:

Cast on 60 stitches with the main color yarn. Knit every row for 6 rows.

Change to the contrasting color yarn and work the following lace pattern for 10 rows:
Row 1: K3, *yo, k2tog, k1; repeat from * to last 3 sts, k3
Row 2: Purl
Row 3: K3, k2tog, *yo, k2tog; repeat from * to last st, k1
Row 4: Purl
Row 5: K3, yo, k2tog, *k1, yo, k2tog; repeat from * to last st, k1
Row 6: Purl
Row 7: K3, *k2tog, yo, k2tog; repeat from * to last 3 sts, k3
Row 8: Purl
Row 9: K3, *yo, k2tog, k1; repeat from * to last 3 sts, k3
Row 10: Purl

Change back to the main color yarn and knit every row for 6 rows.

Begin shaping the hood by decreasing 2 stitches at the beginning and end of every other row until there are 30 stitches remaining.

Next, cast on 10 stitches with the contrasting color yarn at the beginning of the next row. Knit the remaining 30 stitches with the main color yarn.

Repeat this process (casting on 10 stitches at the beginning of every other row) until you have cast on a total of 50 stitches. The hood should now measure approximately 12 inches wide.

To shape the top of the hood, knit 15 stitches with the main color yarn, cast off the next 20 stitches, and knit the remaining stitches with the main color yarn.

Change to the contrasting color yarn and work the lace pattern for 10 rows. Bind off all the stitches.

To add a fringe to the scarf, cut pieces of yarn that are approximately 12 inches long. Fold each piece of yarn in half and pull the ends through a stitch on the edge of the scarf. Secure the ends of the yarn by knotting them together.

Your hooded scarf is now complete! Enjoy wearing it during the cold winter months.
