I rarely make things for myself and I’m not a big fan of wearing hats but with this frigid weather we’re having this winter, I thought I’d like something to pop on my head when it’s extra chilly out. I found a wonderfully warm free pattern for a Hooded Scarf from Oombawka Design Crochet that has the added benefit of helping me unload a couple of skeins of Caron Cakes yarn that I’ve had for a while now.
I love doing the pattern which is mostly, so far, a simple single crochet, half-double crochet, and double crochet stitch in every third stitch but it’s taking me a very long time to finish each row so I haven’t gotten very far yet. I think it will be extra warm and cozy when it’s done so it’s well worth my time.

I’m using the Caron Cakes in the color Cookies and Cream with a 5mm hook. I’ll try to remember to post a photo of the scarf when it’s done!
If you want to see what it will look like upon completion or make one for yourself, you can find the pattern by visiting: Faerie Mist Hooded Scarf at Oombawka Design Crochet
How about you? What are you working on today? Is it something for yourself or for someone else? Share your thoughts in the comments. I love hearing from my readers!
I was just about to buy that exact yarn, but hadn’t used Caron Cakes so wasn’t sure, I’m glad to hear you think it’s nice to work with.

I love working with it but I’m careful about the things I make because it does contain wool.

That will be a lovely neutral to keep you warm and cozy!

I love Caron Cakes…I have a stash with a few colours that I want to make throws with, I just can’t settle on patterns.
