This Hooded Crocheted Scarf is one of the easiest projects to make! Adding a hood to any crocheted scarf, shawl, sweater or poncho is easier than you think! In this tutorial, I will show you just how easy it is. I will also show how to add a fun crab stitch edge to the brim of the hood. The fun and whimsical style of this hood is absolutely charming.
In this tutorial, I am using the scarf made with the straight granny stitch (see video below) along with the the stitch pattern from the comfort blanketed for pet rescue centers for the hood (video tutorial is also below…). You can use any scarf pattern you like along with any stitch pattern for the hood. If you are new to crochet, make sure to check out my Beginner Crochet Series.
I will show you how to crochet a nice crab stitch around the face of the hood as a way to finish of the selvedge edge that faces out at the front of the hood. I will also show how you can make the hood section with the foundation chain stitch facing out at the front of the hood, thus eliminating the need for the crab stitch.

You can use any yarn you like, I am using the Mainstays number four medium-weight acrylic yarn from Walmart. The color I’m using is called Polo Stripe but doesn’t appear to be available in the USA. Here is a similar color in this line. It is however, available at Walmart Canada, along with some other fun color choices.
Above is the video tutorial for the scarf pattern I used in this tutorial for the Hooded Crocheted Scarf.
Above is the video tutorial for the stitch pattern I used for the hood of the scarf. It is a basic double crochet pattern with a couple of little tricks to make the fabric especially nice. You can make the hood any size you like using this stitch pattern.
This tutorial would make a fabulous Hooded Crocheted Scarf. You could do it in two different ways…either make the hood from the half-double crochet stitch pattern or use the granny squares. Both ways would be amazing!
Use the ideas and techniques in this video tutorial on the Hooded Crocheted Scarf to create your own design. Use any stitch pattern for the scarf and then something different for the hood. So long as you use a cohesive color scheme, it will look fabulous! Be creative and have fun.
