Assembling the Mosaic Crochet Hooded Scarf

Fold your piece in half on the long side (where your last row is) and sew the top edge together (mattress stitch).

Now, add the envelope border (video tutorial) around the front opening of the hoodie.

Finally, crochet the cowl to the bottom of the hoodie opening this way (video tutorial is here).

Attach your blue yarn, then ch 29

R1: starting from the 2nd ch from the hook, 1 sc per ch, sl st to the next st

R2: 1 sc in the blo per st, turn

R3: 1 sc in the blo per st, sl st to the next st, and sl st to the following st, turn

Repeat R2 and R3 for the entire 108 stitches of the first row of the hoodie.

Once done, sl st the first and last row together.

Fasten off and weave in your ends.

You can have the cowl on the outside to keep warm around your neck, OR pull it inward to keep part of your face warm and protected from the cold temperatures.
