Notes
Scarf is worked first, from one end to the other, with a few stitches bound off, then cast on where the hood stitches will be picked up. Hood stitches are picked up at the center of the scarf, then knit. Markers are placed at the center back of the hood, and the hood is shaped with increases and short-rows to the top. At the top, the center back sts are worked back and forth in short-rows, decreasing the stitches to either side until only the center stitches remain. Circular needle is used to accommodate large number of sts on hood.
