Neatest Crochet Pattern

Crocheted Hooded Scarf


Crochet Hooded Scarf

This pattern is unique in that nothing is 'required' except for the measurements and that will insure the hooded scarf will fit anyone. The crocheter has the choice of hook size, yarn type, stitches, gauge and closure method (if any). This pattern also does not care if you are right or left handed. As long as the measurements are followed, size will fit the individual regardless of the type of yarn used (baby, sport weight, worsted weight, bulky, etc) or the hook size. Using different yarns and hooks will give an entirely different look each time the item is made.
