Just one skein of Lion Brand Scarfie is all you need to make this stunning Hoodie Cowl. Stitches of varying heights are used to create the hood shape, with a post stitch cable pattern in the back. If you are not familiar with post stitch cables, take a look at this tutorial before getting started so that you have a better idea of how they work. Wear the Hoodie Cowl as a hood or a cowl; either way, you will turn heads.

So cute! Thanks for sharing!!!
I really enjoy working this pattern. For my first one I did the chain 84 then round 1. For my second one I wanted to do the foundation chain as I think it gives a beautiful finished look. I needed to add 12 fdc for round 2 to work. Thanks for the pattern
When you skip and go back to 2 skipped stitches, what order do you work them? 1st then 2nd skipped or 2nd skipped then 1st skipped?
1st and then 2nd, so you work 3, 4, 1, 2
Row five when you skip 2 then do 2 ftbs in the skip then the next direction says do 2 bpts in next skipped…….but there aren’t any more skipped. Un less I do them in the back of the 2 I filled. Help!
It says in the next 2 unworked sts, NOT skipped sts, totally different.
Do you have any suggestions on how to make this beautiful cowl a hooded scarf instead? Thanks!
Work in rows instead of rounds, breaking it at the center front, then add a scarf to it.
Hi jessie Im on about round 12 and my cable seems to vere off to the left ….Is that right or have i gone bonkers thanks x
That can happen when working in the round. You should be able to straighten it out when you block it.
There seems to be a photo missing, as all I see is the back of someone’s head (unless I’m looking at the front, and the scarf covers the face, but surely I’m wrong?). I have it was here at one time because no one’s commented that it’s missing (until now ☺️).
I’m looking for a hooded cowl and that’s what this claims to be, but I can’t see it. I sure would be grateful if you’d replace the photo that shows this scarf/hood from the front so I can make sure that it’s what I want. Thanks very much!
This is the right post – there seems to be something wrong with the images, but you can see them all on Ravelry here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hoodie-cowl-3
I’m in the process of updating this pattern, so there will be more photos at that point.
Do you have a picture of the front of this hoodie?
It looks like some of my images in this post are glitching. I’ll put it on my fix-it list. In the meantime, if you click the Ravelry link in the post, all the images are there.
