My own invention

Just kidding.  I wanted a hoodie scarf.  Or a scoodie as some pattern designers have called them.  But I couldn't find a free pattern.  I don't like to count on my patterns and do increases so I created this the easiest way possible.  I did slip stitch then single crochet, then half double, then double, then back down to slip stitch again so it created a "hood" with scarf ends on both sides. 

I wish that the ends were longer but it has worked well.  It is easier than wearing a hat because it doesn't mess up my hair and it keeps the wind off my neck.  I can also continue to wear it throughout the day by flattening the hood down and wearing it as a regular scarf.  I used my stash of Cotton-Ease in assorted colors.
