Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight, 100% wool
• Knitting Needles: US 10 (6.0 mm)
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches using your US 10 (6.0 mm) knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are not too tight to allow for easy movement.
2. Garter Stitch Base: Work in garter stitch for 6 rows. To do this, knit every row until you have completed 6 rows. This will create a nice border for your scoodie.
3. Begin Leaf Motif Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): K4, then repeat the following pattern: *k2tog, yo, k1, yo, ssk, k3* until you have 4 stitches left, then K4. This creates the intricate leaf design.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches. This will set the pattern for the leaf motifs.
4. Continue Pattern: Repeat Rows 1 and 2 for a total of 60 inches. Keep an eye on your tension to ensure your stitches remain consistent throughout.
5. Create the Hood: Once you have reached 60 inches, fold the scarf in half. Seam together 12 inches along one edge to form the hood. Use a whip stitch or mattress stitch for a neat finish.
6. Make the Pockets:
   • At each end of the scarf, pick up 30 stitches along the edge.
   • Work in stockinette stitch for 6 inches (knit one row, purl the next).
   • Once you reach 6 inches, bind off all stitches loosely to allow the pockets to stretch.
7. Sew Pockets in Place: Position the pockets at the ends of the scarf and sew them securely in place. Ensure they are aligned and evenly spaced for a polished look.
