Into the Hoods was our Fall ‘25 mystery knit-a-long that offered a whopping six hooded patterns in one knitting adventure! Over each of the four clues, knitters worked through the suspense of creating a hood without knowing exactly where the trail would lead. Each knitter chose their own path—picking between the Balaclava, Dickey, or Scarf style, and deciding whether to work in a single color or two coordinating colors.

Check out the Dickey and Balaclava versions of Into the Hoods, too!

And now, the mystery is revealed! This pattern is the Scarf version, it includes instructions to knit it in a single color or in two colors. If you love a good wrap and crave that scarf vibe with your hood, this one is the way to go. The pattern includes detailed video tutorials to help you on your knitting adventure.

Into The Hoods Scarf (aka Scoodie) is worked from the top down. It starts with a rectangle that uses an i-cord cast-on and my signature Lola’s Pick Up Line technique. The body of the hood flows off of this base towards the neck. Once the hood is complete, your stitches split into two halves that are worked downwards with short rows filling in at the back of the neck. Decreases taper each side to a point, creating a long scarf with tails that are perfect for wrapping, draping, or tying around your neck however you like.
