Hooded Infinity Scarf
Stay warm and cozy with this Hooded Infinity Scarf. All you need is one skein of worsted weight yarn in your favorite color to complete this crochet pattern. The hood and scarf are worked separately and then sewed together, so you have the option of making this without the hood if you're just in the need of a scarf. We suggest including the hood if you get cold easily - it's a great addition that provides extra warmth in the wind, rain, and snow. Stay extra warm and cozy with this great hooded scarf pattern.
NotesNotes:
1. There is one variation of sorts to doing this front and back loop only stitch. I had to figure out a way to do it in the chain so that it didn't stand out obviously against the rest of the scarf. When working in the chain a FLO will be considered going through both of the top loops as usual when working in a chain, leaving only one loop underneath the hook.
2. When working in the chain a BLO will be considered going through just the center loop. The one that lies between or behind the "v" looking part of the chain. This helps to make the hdcs that are worked into the chain move forward and back. I have done this throughout the scarf so that as it turns and flips when worn there is no obvious front or back. The first loop on the hook is the one from the previous stitch, the second loop is the YO from the hdc you are about to work, the next two are the top and bottom of the "v" of the chain stitch.

Scarf
-
With K hook. Ch 130.
-
Join in loop, make sure not to twist ch.
-
Row 1-8: Ch 1, hdc in FLO of same stitch as joining, hdc in BLO, *hdc in FLO, hdc in BLO* repeat from *to * around. Join to first hdc, ch 1 turn. (130 hdc) Basically when you turn you will be working back across the hdc's you just worked. Your hook should be positioned for you to be stitching in this direction.
-
You will do 7 rows identical to the first, {8 TOTAL} join and finish off. Weave in ends. If you would like to leave the scarf without the hood you can skip ahead to the flower directions. Your finished product will look similar to this.
Hood
-

-
Row 1: In second ch from hook work hdc in FLO, *hdc in BLO next stitch, hdc in FLO in next st* repeat from * to * across. Ch 1, turn. (59 hdc)
-
Row 2 - 18: hdc in FLO, *hdc in BLO, hdc in FLO* repeat from * to * across, ch 1, turn. (59 hdc)
Break yarn leaving about a 1 1/2 ft tail. You are going to use it to stitch hood together. -
At this point you are going to fold the rectangle in half, and using your yarn needle, whip stitch the two sides of the hood together. When you get to the top poke the top of the hood into the inside of the hood creating what will be a triangle on the inside. Stitch across the outside. This helps the hood lay a little more flat across the top of your head.
-
Using another piece of yarn {about a 1 1/2 ft long} to whip stitch the hood to the scarf. Weave in ends and admire your result. If you like it the way that it is you can stop here - or you can make and attach the flower.
