EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN

GARTER STITCH (worked back and forth):
Knit all rows, from both the right and wrong side.
1 ridge in height = knit 2 rows.

Work as far as the marker-stitch, increase 1 stitch towards the right, knit the marker-stitch, increase 1 stitch towards the left. Then work the new stitches in stocking stitch.
INCREASE ONE STITCH TOWARDS THE LEFT (from right side):
Use the left needle to pick up the strand between 2 stitches from the previous row, pick up strand from the front and knit through the back loop.
INCREASE ONE STITCH TOWARDS THE RIGHT (from right side):

I-CORD (= 2 stitches):

BEGINNING OF ROW

END OF ROW

Work until there are 2 stitches left on the row, slip 1 stitch purl-wise with strand in front, knit 1.

HOODED SCARF - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE

The piece is worked back and forth with circular needle from mid-back.
When the hood is finished, stitches are cast off for the face-opening and each section is finished separately.

HOODED SCARF

Cast on 89-91 stitches with circular needle size 8 mm, 1 strand DROPS Air and 1 strand DROPS Brushed Alpaca Silk (2 strands).

Work the first row from the wrong side as follows:
2 stitches I-CORD – read description above, work 14 GARTER STITCHES (= 16 scarf-stitches), purl 57-59 and insert 1 marker in the middle purled stitch (= 57-59 hood-stitches), work 14 garter stitches and 2 stitches I-cord (= 16 scarf-stitches) = 89-91 stitches.

Continue with I-cord, garter stitch and stocking stitch. AT THE SAME TIME increase for the hood on each side of the marker-stitch on the next row – read INCREASE TIP.
Increase like this every 2nd row (each row from the right side) a total of 6-6 times = 101-103 stitches.
There are 16 scarf stitches each side and 69-71 hood-stitches.

Continue with I-cord, garter stitch and stocking stitch until the piece measures 26-27 cm from the cast-on edge.
Now cast off for the face-opening in the hood, working the next row from the right side as follows:
2 stitches I-cord, 14 garter stitches, place these 16 stitches on a thread (= 16 stitches for the right scarf). Do not cut the strand, work I-cord cast off across the next 69-71 stitches as follows:
Cast on 2 stitches on the right needle, slip these 2 stitches onto the left needle with the strand 2 stitches in on the left needle, * knit 1, knit the next 2 stitches twisted together, slip the 2 stitches from the right needle back onto the left needle , work from -* until there are 16 stitches left on the left needle + 2 stitches on the right needle (= 18 stitches for the left scarf), work 14 garter stitches and 2 stitches I-cord.
Continue working the left scarf as follows:

LEFT SCARF

= 18 stitches.
Turn and work back and forth across the 18 stitches as follows:
2 stitches I-cord, 14 garter stitches, 2 stitches I-cord.
Work like this for 3 cm (approx. 7 rows).

On the next row from the right side, begin decreasing as follows:
Work 2 stitches I-cord, slip 1 stitch knit-wise, knit 1, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted stitch, work garter stitch until there are 2 stitches left, 2 stitches I-cord.
Decrease like this every 6 cm (approx. every 14th row) a total of 11-11 times = 7-7 stitches.
The scarf measures approx. 89-90 cm from the cast-on edge. Cast off at the same time as the first and last 2 stitches are knitted together.

RIGHT SCARF

Place the 16 stitches from the thread back on the needle. In addition, pick up 2 stitches in the 2 cast-on stitches for the I-cord cast-off = 18 stitches.
Work the first row from the wrong side as before.

Continue back and forth as follows:
2 stitches I-cord, 14 garter stitches, 2 stitches I-cord.
Work like this for 3 cm (approx. 7 rows).

On the next row from the right side, begin decreasing as follows:
Work 2 stitches I-cord, work garter stitch until there are 4 stitches left, knit 2 together, 2 stitches I-cord.
Decrease like this every 6 cm (approx. every 14th row) a total of 11-11 times = 7-7 stitches.
The scarf measures approx. 89-90 cm from the cast-on edge. Cast off at the same time as the first and last 2 stitches are knitted together.
