Introduction

In this tutorial, I will guide you step by step on how to make a beautiful scarf using Becky wool from Casa Sol. This cozy and stylish scarf features a hood and pockets, making it perfect for keeping warm during the colder months. With the help of this guide, you will be able to create your own unique scarf in no time.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials you will need for this project:

• Becky wool from Casa Sol (recommended size: 5-7mm)
• Colorful yarn for fringes and detailing
• Knitting needles (4mm) or circular needles
• Crochet hook (4.5mm)
• Scissors
• Needle
• Stitch marker

Calculating Stitches and Sizes

To ensure the scarf fits perfectly, we need to calculate the stitches and sizes based on your desired length and age. Follow these steps:

1. Measure the length of the scarf by taking the size from the tip of one finger to the tip of the other finger. Add the size of the pockets you want to have on both sides.
2. Measure the size from the neck to the front part of the face. Place this measurement on the scarf and mark it with stitch markers to determine the number of stitches needed to make the scarf.

Casting on Stitches

Once you have determined the width of the scarf, it's time to cast on the stitches. Follow these steps:

1. Cast on the number of stitches required to achieve the desired width of the scarf.
2. Start working the seed stitch by knitting one stitch, purling one stitch, and repeating this pattern throughout the row.
3. Turn the work and continue working the seed stitch, alternating between knitting and purling, until you reach the desired length of the scarf.
4. Purl the last stitch in every row to create a neat edge.

Working the Seed Stitch

The seed stitch is a textured pattern that adds a nice touch to the scarf. Follow these steps to work the seed stitch:

1. Start each row by knitting the first stitch.
2. When you come across a knit stitch, purl it. When you come across a purl stitch, knit it.
3. Repeat the knit-purl pattern until you reach the end of the row.
4. Purl the last stitch of each row to maintain a consistent edge.

Binding Off

Once you have achieved the desired length of the scarf, it's time to bind off the stitches. Follow these steps:

1. Bind off all the stitches by knitting the first two stitches.
2. Insert the left-hand needle into the first stitch on the right-hand needle and lift it over the second stitch and off the needle.
3. Knit the next stitch and repeat the process of lifting the previous stitch over the new one until you have reached the end.
4. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail, and weave it through the last stitch to secure it.

Sewing the Hood

To create the hood, we need to sew the top part of the hood together. Follow these steps:

1. Fold the hood in half lengthwise, with the wrong side facing out.
2. Using a needle and the matching yarn, sew the top part of the hood together, making sure to secure the stitches.

Creating the Pockets

The scarf features pockets on both sides, adding both style and functionality. Follow these steps to create the pockets:

1. Take the yarn and sew the sides of the pockets, folding the edges inward for a clean finish.

Making the Ears

The scarf's hood is adorned with cute ears, giving it a playful touch. Follow these steps to make the ears:

1. Using the same yarn as the hat, create a magic ring and make six single crochet stitches in the ring.
2. Continue working in rounds, making increases as necessary to shape the ears.
3. Once the desired size is reached, bind off the stitches and leave a long tail for sewing.

Crafting the Horn

The scarf also features a horn, which adds a whimsical element. Follow these steps to create the horn:

1. Create a magic ring and make six single crochet stitches in the ring.
2. Only work in the back loops for the remainder of the horn.
3. Make increases as necessary to shape the horn.
4. Bind off the stitches and leave a long tail for sewing.

Adding the Fringes

To complete the scarf's decoration, we will add fringes of different colors. Follow these steps to create the fringes:

1. Take a hard surface like a credit card or a piece of cardboard.
2. Wrap the yarn around the surface multiple times.
3. Cut the yarn at the bottom part of the loops.
4. Sew the fringes onto the scarf, hood, ears, and pockets.
