Completed Hooded Scarf

I enjoyed working the scarf pattern of the Hooded Scarf by Sedruola Maruska, but I went astray when it came time to begin the hood part. I started and frogged the hooded portion at least three times when I finally decided to make it separate and then attach. For those of you who have done this pattern and were able to do as the pattern is written, my hat goes off to you. My yarn just kept twisting. You don't want a twisted hood! LOL!!

I was able to complete it in time for my model to be back home from her latest competition. She loves it and I think I just lost another completed work to my little thief.

First picture of collage shows how I joined the hood to the scarf using the slip stitch. Second picture of collage shows the added 8 rows of half double crochet I needed in order for it to be a full hood. I also love how it looks attached to the scarf. The third picture in above collage shows the lovely cross over double crochet cable stitch. I believe it added a beautiful accent along with texture to the scarf and hood.

Close up of model and hood!! I really love the end result. :-)

Happy Valentines to all!! Have a wonderful weekend!!
