Instructions

1. Cast On: CO 60 stitches using your chunky yarn. Make sure to leave a long tail for weaving later.
2. Row 1: k all stitches across the row.
3. Row 2: p all stitches across the row.
4. Repeat Rows 1 and 2 until the scarf measures approximately 45 inches long, ending with a purl row.
5. Shaping the Hood:
• Continue knitting in garter stitch until the total length is about 70 inches.
• Fold the scarf in half lengthwise. This will form the hood. Make sure the sides are even.
6. Binding Off: Once you've reached the hood depth (about 25 inches from the fold), BO all stitches. Cut the yarn leaving a long end for weaving.
7. Finishing:
• Use a yarn needle to weave in all ends securely.
• Add fringe if desired: Cut several pieces of yarn approximately 10 inches long, fold them in half, and tie them onto the ends of the scarf.
8. Enjoy: Your cozy hooded scarf is now ready! Wear it to keep warm or give it as a thoughtful gift.

Happy knitting!
