To form hood, fold scarf in half with right sides together. With crochet hook,

attach yarn at point of fold, slip st loosely through both thicknesses for 12” to form

back seam. Fasten off and weave in tails. Turn hood right-side out.

Optional tassel:

Wind yarn around an 8” measure 12 times. With separate 16” length of yarn, tie

strands together at one end of wrap, then cut strands at opposite end. With

separate 24” length of yarn, wind yarn around tassel about 1” below top to secure

all strands together, then bury tail into center of tassel. Trim tassel ends to

desired length. Attach tassel to back point of hood.
