5 Crochet Hooded Scarf Patterns for Cozy Scoodies and Winter Layers

A hooded scarf combines two accessories in one project, but its fit depends on more than scarf length. The hood needs enough depth, the neck should sit comfortably and the ends—or loop—need to suit the way you wear a coat. Looking at construction helps narrow down the options.

These five crochet patterns include long-ended hooded scarves and a looped scoodie. The sources span Ravelry and LoveCrafts, with a designer’s free version available for one choice. Compare the shape and terminology before choosing yarn.

Compare the five designs

1. Hooded Scarf, Scoodie

Designer: Melissa Grice / Well-Ravelled
Format: Paid PDF · Ravelry

At a glance: Large hook; US terms; foundation double crochet

Melissa Grice’s hooded scarf has a substantial, wrapped appearance in the sample. The English PDF includes photographs, and Ravelry buyers receive both right-handed and left-handed versions. The designer specifies a 10 mm hook and notes that foundation double crochet is required.

This is useful if the handedness of instruction matters to you. Do not choose it solely because it is described as beginner-friendly: check that you are comfortable with the foundation technique first. Confirm yarn requirements in the PDF, especially if weight labels differ between a retailer and the pattern.

2. Hooded Scarf / Scoodie

Designer: Viv Crochets
Format: Paid PDF · designer tutorial linked

At a glance: Medium yarn; 8 mm hook; US terms

Viv Crochets’ design focuses on avoiding a pointed back to the hood. The listing describes no-sew construction and includes guidance for adjusting size. It can be made in one color or in stripes that continue between the hood and scarf.

Choose this pattern if you want the construction itself to reduce finishing work. The striped sample makes the direction of the fabric easy to see. Before planning a color sequence, check how the rows move through the hood so the transitions land where you want them.

3. Heading-Out Hooded Scarf

Designer: Sonja Hood / KnotYourselfOut
Format: Paid PDF · LoveCrafts

At a glance: Worsted yarn; intermediate

The Heading-Out design combines mostly double crochet with chain spaces and some back-loop work. The designer describes crocheting the hood onto the scarf and shaping it with decreases. It is listed as an intermediate project.

Compare this one if you like an open, decorative surface rather than uniformly dense fabric. Think about the garment underneath: its color will show through the spaces. Check the full finished dimensions before buying yarn, since the long scarf body makes up a significant part of the project.

4. Red Scoodie Hooded Scarf

Designer: TigsTogs
Format: Paid PDF · LoveCrafts

At a glance: DK yarn; UK terms; intermediate listing

TigsTogs uses UK crochet terminology, an important distinction from the US-term patterns here. The listing describes a flat-braid join for the hood and notes that sewing is a simpler alternative. The original sample yarn is discontinued.

Choose a substitute by fiber, weight and the fabric it produces rather than searching only for the original yarn name. This design suits someone who wants a traditional hooded-scarf shape and will plan the joining stage. Read the abbreviations before starting: the same stitch name can mean something different in UK and US instructions.

5. Through Thick and Thin Hooded Scarf

Designer: Juli Anne / Once Upon a Cheerio
Format: Paid PDF · free designer version linked

At a glance: Super-bulky yarn; 10 mm hook; US terms

This scoodie offers a different silhouette from a scarf with two long hanging ends. The listing categorizes it as a cowl with a hood, made in one piece using thick-and-thin super-bulky yarn. A free version is linked alongside the paid PDF.

Choose it if you prefer the compact look of a loop around the neck. Uneven yarn is a major part of the sample’s texture, so a smooth substitute changes its appearance. Compare neck opening and hood depth carefully instead of using overall scarf length as the main fit guide.

Choose by hood shape and wearing style

Decide whether you want long scarf ends, a short wrap or a continuous loop. Then compare hood depth and width. If you own a hood that fits comfortably, measuring it gives you a practical reference when reading the pattern’s diagram.

Make a gauge sample in the yarn you plan to use. A loose stitch pattern and a dense one can behave differently even with similar yarn labels. Consider the fabric against your neck, and leave enough yarn for the specified edging and finishing rather than budgeting only for the main rectangle.

Frequently asked questions

Are a scoodie and a hooded cowl the same shape?

Which option avoids sewing the hood?
