Cuddly Cat Crochet Scoodie

Cuddly Cat Crochet Scoodie
Several things came together to make the Cuddly Cat Crochet Scoodie with Pockets – a reader request, my kids’ love of animals, and the inevitable need for new winter hats! Out of all these came this fun hat/hood-scarf-pockets cat lover’s combo! Of course, it doesn’t have to be a cat – change the ear style and it can be any animal at all – the colors had me thinking both wolf and Totoro! In an orangey red it would make a great fox too. Your imagination is the only limit!

Free #Crochet Pattern: Ups and Downs Cowl! The Ups and Downs Slouchy Beanie and Fingerless Gloves Set were super fun to make – and many of you agreed! And then you asked for a matching cowl… and I was more than happy to oblige. I changed out the yarn and the closure for a slightly different look – but I think you’ll like it! Of course, you can make your own sets as matchy as you like. I love the way some of you have played with color in the hats.

Learn to read crochet patterns The key element in learning to read crochet patterns is understanding the writing style, which includes the crochet abbreviations and symbols included for your convenience at the end of this article. It's not necessary to learn the abbreviations and symbols all at once, but refer to the lists as you find these terms listed in your crochet patterns. Some things to remember when reading crochet patterns: Crochet patterns are worked in either rows or rounds (rnds). To most beginners, a pattern written in standard crochet abbreviations looks like a foreign language. Written in standard crochet abbreviations, row 1 looks like this: Row 1: With size H hook, ch 15, sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, turn. (14 sc) Now, written in standard English, row 1 looks like this: Row 1: Using a size H crochet hook, make 15 chain stitches, single crochet in the second chain stitch from the hook and in each chain stitch across, turn. After completing row 1, proceed to row 2. Abbreviations Symbols 1.
