What about the yarn?
This pattern uses Bernat Blanket yarn. YES, that fuzzy polyester snuggly yarn that works up fast! It is so soft and very warm. Perfect for fall and winter.
What about the size?
The hood oddly fit us all so well, that I decided to keep the hood piece one size and provided different lengths for the scarf section for ages 4+.
I am a small adult, about 5 foot 3 inches tall, and the one pictured I made for my daughter actually fit me pretty well!
Materials you will need:
– Bernat Blanket in Black – Super Bulky 6 – Approx. 220 yards
– Craft Smart Value Yarn in Red and White for Spikes and Claws- Approx. 20 yards
– 8mm Crochet Hook
– Darning Needle
Sizes: 4-10+ Years – Approximately 180 – 220 yards
The hood size remains the same for all sizes but the length of the scarf does change to suit children between the ages 4-10+.
Gauge: 2 Rows and 4sts in 2″
There is also a Kitty Version! Follow the link below to that pattern.
NOTES:
The rows all start in the same stitch.
Stitch abbreviations:
Sc: Single Crochet
Dc: Double Crochet
Slst: Slip Stitch
Sts: Stitches
Ch: Chain
This Scoodie is made in two halves and then sewn together. It’s SO easy to make.
So let’s get started!
Make 2 of the following:
Leave a long tail at the start on one of them – about half to three-quarters of a meter. This will be used to sew up the hood. The other tail can be left short as it will just be weaved in.
With an 8mm crochet hook and white blanket yarn, chain 20.
Row 1: Sc into the 3rd ch from the hook and in each ch across. (18sts)
Rows 2 – 11: Ch2. Turn. Dc in each st across. (18sts)
This piece should now measure: 10” x 10”
Do not tie off. We’ll start the scarf section now.
Row 12: Ch2. Turn. Dc8. (8sts)
Repeat row 12 until the scarf piece measures the following for the size you are wanting to make (just the scarf piece – not including the 10” you already finished:
22” long for a 4 or 5-year-old
23.5” long for a 6 or 7-year-old
25” long for an 8-10-year-old
Once you have both pieces made, line them up (see picture below) and sew up the hood using the long tail that you left on one of the pieces. But once again do not tie off yet!
I forgot to snap a picture while making this version so I just used the picture from the Warm Fuzzy Kitty Scoodie Pattern. The yarn is white not black, but this is how it looks when you line up your pieces up to sew together.
Trim
Now that our hood is sewn up, let’s make a trim. Making a single crochet around the entire piece makes it look much neater! So picking up where you left off… Ch1 and make a sc around the entire item until you are back where you started. I make 2sc in the corner stitches to help round the corners.
Tip: Be sure to only go through one strand as you make your trim, as going around whole stiches can make holes and gaps.
Now that your trim is completed, you can tie off but leave a bit of a tail to sew up one side of a pocket 😊.
Pockets
For the pockets simply fold up about 6 rows of work and sew both sides shut.
