This no-sew crochet hooded scarf pattern combines the warmth of a beanie and scarf in this single accessory! And even better, this pattern doesn’t have that point at the back of the hood! Make it solid-colored or make stripes that seamlessly transition from the hood to the scarf without having to cut your yarn every row.

Choosing Yarn & Hook Size

You can use any yarn and hook you want and just follow along with my detailed measurements to get the same size. For more warmth, you should go with a wool or acrylic yarn over cotton. And although you can use any hook you want, you might want to think about sizing up your hook.

You can see in the images that even though I used a medium-weight yarn, the hooded scarf still drapes nicely. This is because I used a much larger hook than is recommended on the yarn label. The yarn recommends a 5.5mm hook, but I went with an 8mm hook to really loosen my stitches and make them softer.

Notes and Tips

• This pattern is written using US crochet terms
• Italicized notes tell you what to change to adjust the size
• Use a larger hook than recommended to make the hood and scarf less stiff
• The chain 2 at the beginning of each row does NOT count as a double crochet
• Make sure your measurements match mine if your gauge is different (and you want the same size)

How to Change Colors

If you want to learn how I changed colors in this pattern, you can view the video tutorial or follow the photo tutorial below.

Color A = first color (cream)

Color B = second color (green)

If you want to make a striped hooded scarf, start the pattern with either color and change colors with the last stitch of every even row. To change colors at the end of Row 2 and Row 10:

1. With color A, yarn over
2. Pull up a loop
3. Yarn over, pull through 2 loops
4. Loop color B onto your hook
5. Pull color B through the last two loops
6. Tighten both colors and leave a long enough loose end on color B to weave in later

Leave your yarn attached and pick it back up on the last stitch of the next even row:

1. With current color, yarn over
2. Insert your hook into the last stitch of the even row
3. With new color, yarn over (this is to catch the “float,” so the hanging strand of yarn is shorter; see last image)
4. With current color, yarn over
5. Pull up a loop
6. Yarn over, pull through 2 loops
7. With new color, yarn over
8. Pull new color through the last two loops
9. Tighten both colors

Crochet Hooded Scarf Pattern

Foundation: Make a slipknot, ch24+2

Note: The length of the first row will be length a, or the length from the back of your head to the base of your neck. Do fewer chains to make it shorter or more chains to make it longer.

Row 1: dc in 3rd ch from hook, dc in next 22 ch, dc4 in last ch, mark the last dc you made, rotate your foundation chain to work along the underside, dc in next 23 ch (50)

Row 2: ch2, turn, dc across until st marker, inc in next 4 st, mark the last dc you made, dc across, change colors (54)

Row 3: ch2, turn, dc across until st marker, rep[dc, inc] 4 times, mark the last dc you made, dc across (58)

Row 4: ch2, turn, dc across until st marker, rep[dc in next 2 st, inc] 4 times, mark the last dc you made, dc across, change colors (62)

We’ll continue increasing the size of the hood by adding more of these increase rows. You double crochet until the stitch marker, increase 4 times around the curve, and double crochet the rest of the row. The rows and stitch counts are listed below.

Note: For a smaller size, do fewer increase rows until the curve of b in the diagram is the size you want. Then, skip to Row 8.

Row 5: ch2, turn, dc across until st marker, rep[dc in next 3 st, inc] 4 times, mark the last dc you made, dc across (66)

Row 6: ch2, turn, dc across until st marker, rep[dc in next 4 st, inc] 4 times, mark the last dc you made, dc across, change colors (70)

Row 7: ch2, turn, dc across until st marker, rep[dc in next 5 st, inc] 4 times, mark the last dc you made, dc across (74)

Note: For a larger size, continue adding increase rows by repeating the row before, but with an extra dc before the inc. For example, Row 8 would be rep[dc in next 6 st, inc].

Next, we’ll do regular rows to increase the width of the hood. We’ll stop once the width of the scarf you want is equal to the rest of the width of the hood you want (length e).

Note: If your length c is the length you want, you can skip Row 8.

Row 8: ch2, turn, dc across, change colors, cut color B (74)

Note: For a longer length c on the diagram, do more regular rows by repeating Row 8.

The next row will set the foundation for your scarf and determine length d. The number of chains you do at the beginning of the row (minus the +2 turning chain) will make up the length of one side of the scarf. And the number of fdc you do at the end of the row will be the length of the other side of the scarf.

Note: Do fewer chains and fdc for a shorter scarf or more for a longer scarf. To make the length of the scarf equal on both sides, do the same number of fdc as chains in the beginning (minus the +2 turning chain).

Row 9: ch50+2, turn, dc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across, dc in next 74 st, fdc50 (174)

How to Foundation Double Crochet (fdc)

1. Yarn over
2. Insert your hook into the last stitch of the row
3. Pull up a loop
4. Chain 1
5. Yarn over, pull through 2 loops
6. Yarn over, pull through 2 loops

To do more fdc, repeat Steps 1-6, but for Step 2, insert your hook into the chain 1 from Step 4 of the previous fdc.

Finally, we just need to do regular rows to add width to our hood and scarf.

Note: Do fewer rows to make the hood and scarf (length e) less wide or more rows to make it wider. Try it on as you add rows.

Rows 10-18: ch2, turn, dc across (174)

Change colors with the last stitch of Rows 10, 12, 14, and 16.

Fasten off.
