Hooded Crochet Scarf with Pockets Free Crochet Pattern

The Hinterlands Hooded crochet scarf is a beautiful free crochet pattern. The scarf has a hood with ribbed edges and ribbed pockets. There are sizes from toddler all the way to adult.

Below you will find the complete pattern and instructional photos for this pattern. You will also find all the materials, stitches, gauge, and sizing information.

More Hooded Scarf Sizes

If you have followed me for a while you may realize that the Hinterland Crochet Hooded Scarf looks a lot like the Woodland Hooded scarf. This is true. The Hinterlands hooded scarf has the same design but this time I used worsted weight (size 4) yarn instead of a bulky (size 5) yarn. The Woodland hooded scarf only came in one size.

This time I have calculated out several sizes. So you can make matching hooded scarves for you and your kids.

Constructing a Hooded Crochet Scarf

When crocheting this scarf we will crochet the scarf and the pockets at the same time. The pocket section will get folded back and sewn down to create the pockets. Then we will fasten off and move up our scarf. We will reattach our yarn and start making the hood. When the hood is complete we will sew up the top of the hood and weave in our ends. Then your hooded scarf will be complete.

The Premium Ad-Free PDF Pattern

Below you will find the free pattern with all the instructional photos and videos needed to complete the pattern, but I am also aware that several of us like to crochet on the couch, in the car, or in bed with a print out of the pattern. This is why I also offer a nicely formatted ad-free large font PDF version of the pattern that can be purchased on Etsy or Ravelry. You can print the pattern and take it on the go with you or tuck it into your project bag.

Fasten off leaving a long yarn end to sew up the top of your hood.

Part 3: Sewing it Up

Now we just need to sew up the top of the hood and sew the pockets in place.

Fold your hood in half and use the long yarn end to sew up the top of the hood with a whip stitch.

Take the ends of your scarf and fold them where the ribbing meets the open stitch pattern. Using a yarn needle and more yarn, sew the sides of the pockets. I use a simple running stitch to sew up the pockets. Last, you will weave in your ends.

Now your scarf is done and you are able to wear it or gift it to a family member or friends.
