Want to know a secret? I’ve been dreaming of making a hooded scarf for long time. Long before the idea of the Artemis Hooded Scarf came around… Well, actually I want to make a cape with a hood but do you know how much time and effort goes into that? SO SO much. But I’m very pleased with this design, so I don’t even mind it’s not a flowy cape.
This scarf, hood, and pockets are all in the style of the Artemis Headband that I fell in love with last month. I wanted to make all sorts of yummy texture on a scarf and when WeCrochet messaged me about a pattern collaboration with some Knit Picks yarn, I jumped at the opportunity.
Overall this design is super simple. Barely any assembly required (you’ve got to sew the pockets to the scarf ends) but the hood is worked directly on the scarf and then seamed from there. I’m not a big fan of seaming myself so I try to eliminate it when I can. And you can just make the scarf, or the scarf and pockets if you want to get creative (or you could check out the Fiona Scarf for another scarf with pockets). You could also do the pockets and hood but I’m not sure how that would work out… but if you try it, please let me know!
Anyway! I really hope you give this design a try. I fell in love with this yarn almost as soon as I got it on my hook. And this stitch combination in the Artemis Line has be seeing all hearts. I can’t wait to make a tote bag or something in it in 2020.
I hope you year is ending on a good note. Mine has been going on.
See ya next week!

- Notions: Scissors, tape measure, blocking mats and pins (optional)
Gauge
- 15 st (using Crunch St) x 19 rows = 4″
Terms/ Stitches used
- RS: right side
- Ch: chain
- St: stitch
- Slip st: slip stitch
- Hdc: half double crochet
Notes
- You will need to know how to work into the Back Third Loop (BTL) for this pattern. When looking at the you will have the 2 loops on top of the hdc (the V on top), lean the stitch towards you and will see the third loop that runs along the back of the stitch. This is the loop you will work into. This stitch is also known as the Camel Stitch. Please note that when you work this stitch you will be looking at the back of the previous row’s hdc, so the third loop will be facing you.
- This pattern is worked in 3 sections: the Scarf, the Hood, and the Pockets (2 pockets). The Scarf is created first, then the Hood is worked along the top, and the Pockets are worked separately and sewn to the ends of the Scarf.
- The ch-1 at the beginning of the row does not count as a stitch. The ch-1 is used in place of the traditional ch-2 to eliminate extra space on the beginning of the row. Feel free to use the ch-2 if you prefer.
- Make your ch-1 approx the same high as a hdc.
- To make this pattern longer or shorter, just add or subtract sts from the first row in multiples of 2.

Fasten off, weave in your ends.

From looking at your sample and the pattern I'm a little confused. The pattern says to make row 11-12 a total of 3 times. ( this is your purple ) but your picture only shows twice. I have gotten to this point and only have 46 rows. If I did to the whole 64 I would have a third repeat of 11-12. Counting the rows in your picture it also looks like you have 46 rows instead of 64. So is this a misprint or did I do something incorrectly to get an accurate count? Hope I stated that right.

Yes, that was miss-print and has been fix. Sorry about the confusion

Why not make the scarf a bit longer and just fold up the ends, sewing the sides together for the pockets? Seems like it would be easier.

You can certainly do that if you'd like. But this scarf has a specific right side that all the texture faces and if you were to do that, your B color sections would have the incorrect side facing out on the pockets. I wanted the texture to be the same all through the design :) Hope that helps
