Introduction: the fingerless gloves are made side ways

Please note: the ch 1 is counted as the first sc of each row

Notes: measure your gloves from your pointer finger knuckle and upwards to your arm for your length required

Once you have your desired length start making chains to this length

( You are going to make a rectangle / square depending on the lengh and width )

Row 1, Work 1 sc into the 2^nd ch from hook, work 1 sc into each ch to end, ch 1 and turn

Working each row in the back loop only:

Row 2, work 1 sc into the blo of each sc across, work 1 sc into the blo of the ch 1 space, ch 1 and turn

Row 3, work 1 sc into the blo of each sc across, work 1 sc into the blo of the ch 1 space, ch 1 and turn

Row 4, repeat row 3 for width required, do not ch 1 on your last row, break off yarn leaving a long tail for sewing the seam.

The first row and the last row should comfortably meet side ways at your lower thumb joint.

Begin sewing the seam at the wrist part. sew to lower thumb joint, (measure as you go) leave thumb opening by weaving yarn through one side of the fingerless glove, then continue to sew glove together for the finger mitt section.

If you are happy with your size sew in all loose ends and finish off.

AU 6.5 mm hook/ US K/10.5

AU 2 strands of 8 ply/ US 2 strands of DK/Light Worsted

US terms used through out pattern

Stitches Used

CH= chain

HDC= half double crochet

BLO= back loop only

Please note:

This pattern is written for a hdc blo, scoodie, the ch 2 will be your first hdc of each row of the scarf and hood

To begin your scoodie, make a chain the length you require your scarf to be (approx 1.5 meters long) (59 inches)

Row 1, work 1 hdc into 2^nd ch from hook, work 1 hdc in each ch space to end, ch 2 and turn

Row 2, work 1 hdc into the blo of the next hdc and every hdc to end, work 1 hdc into the top of the ch 2, ch 2 and turn

Row 3, repeat row 2 until your scarf is the width you require, approx 10 to 15 cm wide (4 to 6 inches wide)…do not ch 2 on your last row, break off yarn

Now onto the hood placement:

Place scarf very loosely around your neck and even lengths hanging on both sides, mark both sides of the scarf that meet at your chin, Do not stretch the scarf ! the hood will be attached on either side of these markers. Count the st’s from one marker to another, you will need an even number of st’s, add a st to make it even if you need to. Fold the scarf in half to ensure you have the st’s centred on the scarf.

You will now be making your hoodie from 1 st marker to the other.

Make sure you are working on the opposite row to the row you ended with on your scarf

Row 1, join in yarn at st marker with a sl st and ch 2, work 1 hdc into the blo of the next hdc and every hdc up to and into the st with the st marker, ch 2 and turn

Row2, work 1 hdc into the blo of the next hdc and every hdc to end, work 1 hdc into the top of the ch 2, ch 2 and turn

Row 3, repeat row 2 for the height required of you hood (it will be joined across the top centre of your last row, last row do not ch 2) do not break off yarn

Joining the top of the hood:

Fold your hood in half, to join you will alternate between a hdc on the side closest to you and a sl st into the back of the st on the other side, *(1 hdc into the front st, 1 sl st into the back st)* repeat from*to* to end, break off yarn and sew in ends

Try on your Scoodie!

If your scoodie hood part is too small, please refer to this video for corrections
