The Scoodie

I love this pattern!  It was my first time doing a long double crochet and while I am still not sure I am doing it correctly, I love how it turned out.

The original pattern, which I will share below, can be found here Firestorm Fox Scoodie – Crochet Pattern.

***I and others have been using whatever yarn we have from a light #3 yarn to #4 up to bulky.  So use whatever you have, whatever you like.  Add more stitches here and there if you like.  Adjust the length of the scarf.  This pattern is easily adjustable.

 Materials:
– 2½ skeins of bulky weight yarn in color A. (I used Lionbrand Homespun in Wild Fire)
– Small amount of bulky weight yarn in color B. (I used Lionbrand Homespun in Deco)
– Small amount of bulky weight yarn in color C. (I used Lionbrand Homespun in Black)
– Size K (6.5mm) Crochet Hook
