When winter hits, you need more than a crochet hat to keep you warm. Sometimes you need a crochet hat, scarf, and mittens to keep the cold at bay. I have good news for you! The woodland hooded scarf crochet pattern will give you all of that in just one project.
This hooded scarf has beautiful ribbing along the edges and warm pockets for your hands. It is even made with one of my favorite beginner-friendly stitches, the moss stitch.
To make this project even quicker and easier, I have used Lion Brand’s Color Made Easy yarn. It is a size 5 yarn that works up very fast and it just beautiful. Let’s grab our crochet hooks and get to it.

Fasten off.
Crocheting the Hood
From the side that you fastened off. Turn the work and Skip the first 77 Sts. Slip stitch to the next ST.
Continue from this point working towards the other end of the scarf.
Row 17: CH1, SC in BLO to the same ST that you SLST to. SC in BLO of the next 7 STs. *CH1, Skip a ST, SC into CH1 Space,* repeat from *to* a total of 33 times. SC in BLO into next 8 STs. (BLOSC 16, SC 33, CH1 Space 33)
Rows 18 – 49: CH1, turn, SC in BLO of next 8 STs, *CH1, Skip a ST, SC into next CH1 Space,* repeat from *to* a total of 33 times. SC in BLO into next 8 STs. (BLOSC 16, SC 33, CH1 Space 33)
After row 49, fasten off leaving a 24-inch tail.
Take your scarf and fold the hood in half so that the last row can be sewn together using a whip stitch or invisible stitch. Here is a handy video tutorial if you want to learn how to sew crochet pieces together.
Once it is sewn together weave in the rest of your ends.
Now using another long piece of yarn. Fold the ribbed sections at the end of the scarf back onto the moss stitch section of the scarf. Use a yarn needle and yarn to sew up the sides of the scarf to create a pocket on each side of the scarf.
These pockets will keep your hands nice and warm. Once all your ends are woven in, you are ready to brave the cold with this beautiful hooded crochet scarf.

Hello,
I love your pattern and I’m planning on making it for me but was also wanting to make it for my 4 year old Granddaughter. Do you have a smaller size version of this same pattern,
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely pattern,
Francine
I do not as it is a brand new pattern. I know you can shorten the scarf part by subtracting an even number of chains from the foundation chain. You would need to figure out her arm length. You want the scarf to the same length as measuring from fingertips to finger tips, PLUS an additional amount that will be folded back to create the pockets. Once you work up yours, I think you will have a good idea how it is made and be able to adjust it.
I wasn’t working this pattern and noticed that in rows -15 your numbers don’t work it should be 201 Sc not 101
In row 15 you are working a repeat. The repeat is *CH1, Skip a ST, SC* so the repeat is worked over 2 stitches. You work the repeat 101 times. So 101 repeats*2 stitches per repeat= 202 + 17BLOSC at the beginning of the row + 17BLOSC at the end of the row = 236. (101*2)+17+17=236.
If you use a smaller hook it works up for a child 2-6. I used a size H hook Worked out great for grand daughter. Good luck.
Cool!
This is such a cute pattern but I only made it to row #40 with 2 skeins. The scarf is the right length and I’m about 4” short of the hood measurement. Hope I can still find the same color!
I will reweigh my scarf. I only remember using two skeins but I have so many projects going maybe a third crept in there. I will update the pattern.
No problem! I just finished it. Turned out great and its very warm. Thanks 🙂
Your Woodland hooded scarf was the 1st pattern of yours that I tried! Everybody loved it. I made it for my granddaughter a freshmen at NAU, in Falstaff AZ & She has always lived in the sunny southwest. She was here when I finished it. She took off with it before I could get a picture of it. Now everyone wants one. She doesn’t mind the snow now!
That is wonderful to hear. If spring wasn’t heading this way I would consider making another hooded scarf pattern. This one has been so popular.
I crocheting the Woodland Scarf is it suppose to be twisting the first couple rows. Thanks
I realized what I did wrong I was not chaining Ch1 ea time. Love the look. Thanks again.
In row 17 what is S1ST referring to?
Sorry I left that abbreviation out of the abbreviation list. SLST stands for Slip stitch.
Before you start row 17 you will skip a number of stitches slip stitch to start your hood. The instructions are written directly above row 17.
I’ve tried to work this pattern 3 times a have had to rip out due to the stitches not lining up. Is there any way to get stitch counts on the first 3 or 4 rows. Also had trouble with the original chain being 237 and then on second row only skipping 1 left me with 236 not 235. Don’t want to give up as I do like the pattern…please help?
Hi,
I am adding some stitch counts to the row. Row 1 will have 236 stitches. You SC in the 2nd CH from the hook then SC 235 more times.
I will add the stitch counts to the rows you requested. The stitch count does not change if you count chains and single crochets as stitches but I will list how many sc and chs for the first few rows.
Hi! I’m hoping someone can answer this question. Is it a 7mm crochet hook or a #7 crochet hook? I cannot find a 7mm crochet hook anywhere nor is there a letter that corresponds to it. I’m hoping someone can direct me to what the exact hook is that I need and also where I can purchase it. Looking forward to working on this project!
Hi!
So I had to look it up but a size 7 is a 4.5mm hook. Here is a link to a 7mm hook on Amazon https://amzn.to/37TQER2 .
I have some beautiful chenille yarn, do you think it would be ok to use it.
As long as it matches the gauge.
Hello
I have just started your beautiful pattern. I am on row 16 and was wondering what your scarf width measures. Mine seems small at just 3 in. Wide.
You should be around 6 inches wide. Are you using a size 5 bulky yarn? Does your gauge match? It should also be around 78 inches long. Without seeing it, I would guess that you are using a size 4 yarn and not a size 5. If you want to use a size 4 yarn then check out the Hinterland Hooded Scarf. It is basically the same scarf but with the smaller yarn. https://www.windingroadcrochet.com/hooded-crochet-scarf-with-pockets/
I am using a size 4 yarn. I will make the adjustments on the next one I do. I am really liking the way this pattern works up. Thanks for the help!
Consider checking out this pattern. It is basically the same pattern but it uses a size 4 yarn and has sizes from child to adult. https://www.windingroadcrochet.com/hooded-crochet-scarf-with-pockets/
Hi – what is the width of the scarf (not including the hood)? I used a smaller yarn size so I need to make more than 15 rows so hoping to get that size.
Thank you
It is about 6 inches wide.
What would happen if I used a size 6 yarn? What should I do different?
If you use a size 6 yarn, the yarn will be twice as thick. If you meet the gauge of the pattern to make sure the size is correct, then you will end up with a very dense and possibly stiff scarf. To convert to a size 6 yarn and use a different gauge, you will need to make a shorter starting chain, work fewer rows and pretty much rework the entire pattern. I did this once and made a new pattern using a size 4 yarn. It can be found here: https://www.windingroadcrochet.com/hooded-crochet-scarf-with-pockets/
Hi, I’m very new to crocheting. The only yarn I found that I like this scarf to be made of is a size 6. I also got a larger crochet hook (9mm). Do you mind telling the stitch count for size 6 yarn? Is it doable? Am I wasting time and money by going with a thicker yarn?
Size 6 is double the thickness of a size 5 yarn. It would require reworking the entire pattern, or you can use a smaller hook and attempt to meet the gauge but that would make the scarf denser and have less drape.
I’m confused as to how much yarn is actually needed. I am crocheting a blanket for a double bed and am on the 3rd 16 ounce ball of yarn and is about half way up the bed so I don’t think this project takes 3 16 ounce balls of yarn. That would be 3 pounds of yarn for a hooded scarf
3 balls of Lion Brand Color Made Easy is what I used. It is a size 5 yarn so it has a different yardage than other size yarns. Sadly this yarn is discontinued but another size 5 (bulky) yarn should work. I would just keep an eye out on the yardage that the yarn skein contains.
On row 17 when you skip the 77sts is that including the 17st at the end?
Yes skip the 17 BLO stitches and then another 60 stitches for a total of 77
I purchased this pattern through my PayPal but never got the download file. Help
I will need more information. I sell patterns on Etsy and Ravelry. It is best to contact me through there. You can contact the Ravelry customer service and they will help you with purchases there or you can send me a message on etsy. I will need to know your order number to confirm the purchase.
How wide should be the scarf before you start the hood?
I think my yarn might not be thick enough so I will have to work by measurements!
6 inches wide before adding the hood. If the yarn is not thick enough, I would make sure you are happy with the scarf length before continuing.
