I wanted to make a hooded scarf that did not require any seaming and was actually shaped like a head. This was the result.
Supplies Needed:
350 yds worsted weight yarn (I used Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted Multi)
H hook
tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)
Abbreviations:
fsc: foundation single crochet
hdc: half double crochet
dc: double crochet
tr: treble crochet
ch: chain
st/sts: stitch/stitches
To make fsc: ch 2. Insert hook into first chain, yo, draw up a loop. You should have two loops on your hook. Yo, draw through one loop. Yo, draw through both loops on hook. One fsc made.
Insert hook into BASE of previously made fsc, yo and draw up a loop. Yo and draw through one loop on hook. Yo and draw through both loops on hook. Second fsc made.
(there are excellent videos on youtube that are definitely better than my explanation here)
