Granny Square Hooded Scarf


A Christmas gift for Gabrielle.
These squares came from the same blanket as the squares used for Angie's shoulder bag. 

It is quite a simple project. 

Scarf
11 x 6" squares 
Add a round of single crochet(Sc)
(3 or 5sc in each corner, whatever looks best)
to each square before joining.
Join together with slip stitch(ss).

Hood
Sc back and forth along the edge of the centre three squares for approx. 4",
 or whatever you need to make the hood fit.
Do not break yarn.
Fold the flat hood piece in half and join the two halves together with a ss.

Picot Edging
Round 1:
Join yarn in any stitch. 
Chain(ch) 1, Sc around,
Sc 3 or 5 in each outside corner, whatever looks best. 
Sc2together before and after each inside corner.(-2 stitches)
Join with ss to begining ch.

Round 2:
Ch 1, *sc2, 1 picot* repeat from *to* around,
As in round 1, sc2tog before and after each inside corner.(-2 stitches)
Join with ss to begining ch. 

1 picot = sc, ch3, ss into 1st of 3ch.

***On round 2 I did not add any stitches to the outside corners,
however if you look closely at the picture you can see that the outside corners curl a little bit.
Next time, I would +2 stitches to each, for a total of 3 stitches in each outside corner.
