This scarf is worked in an easy, engaging ridged rib pattern with built-in I-cord edges for a more polished look. Contour Hooded Scarf is worked top down, beginning with a hood. Then the hood is divided into two long straps, wrapped around the neck as a scarf. It’s a perfect project to make the holiday gifts for your loved ones or just for relaxed knitting. Contour Hooded Scarf is worked top down and seamlessly with built-in I-cord edges. At first, work a small rectangle for the top of the hood, then pick up stitches along the sides and work the hood to desired length. After, bind off a few central stitches and divide work for right and left straps. Continue working straps separately to desired length, decreasing stitches to small tips at the end. **Sizes** Size 1(2) To fit head circumference 53-56 (57-60) cm / 20.75-22.0 (22.5-23.75)’’ **Finished measurements** Hood depth: 21 (23) cm / 8.25 (9.0)’’; Hood length: 20 cm / 7.75’’; Straps length: 105 cm / 41.25’’.
