Aesthetic Hooded Scarf (Free Crochet Pattern)







Back View
 
Scarves are probably the first projects a beginner crocheter would take up. It would give them lot of practice in working the stitches while making something useful. This hooded scarf can be your favorite fashion accessory for winter while keeping you warm and cozy. It is made using a single strand of worsted weight yarn and double crochet stitches making it a quick and easy crochet project. The ridges on the hood give it added texture  but you can easily skip that step if you wish. I chose  a simple edging for my hood but you can change it to suit your taste. You can try a reverse single crochet edging, a shell edging or even a picot one.   I love this mustard  color and think the scarf would look great in grey, green or cream as well. You can even work your scarf in the same stitch pattern as your hood. I would love to experiment and make this in a striped pattern, making the ridges in a contrasting color. How about a black and white one?  If I ever find the time  to make it in stripes I  will be sharing the picture with  all of you. Happy Crocheting!

Earflap Hat for Boys and Girls - Newborn to Man- Pdf Pattern








Lately I have gotten interested  in the history of the accessories I make. True or not, here is what I found out about ear flap hats. Ear flap hats called Chillos have been used in the Andean Mountain regions  since the pre-Hispanic times where they were used as a protection against the cold weather.The ear flaps were tied under the chin for more warmth. In the late 2000 it became a widely used  winter accessory made famous by the popularity of Snowboarding.

 The ear flap hat is a must-have winter accessory that can keep you warm and comfortable. The pattern tells you how to make the pom poms without a pom pom kit. The pattern is written in Standard American terms and requires only basic crochet skills. It includes sizes newborn to adult woman. I would be adding the adult male size to this pattern soon. Pattern uses Hooks G ( 4.25mm) for size 6-12 months and Hook H (5mm) for all the other sizes . Hat is worked using Worsted weight/ Aran (Size 4 Medium) yarn.
