The Studio Scoodie
The Studio Scoodie is a streamlined hooded scarf with a softly rounded hood instead of a point, which looks clean and modern for everyday wear. Worked in aran-weight yarn with a textured stitch, it has just enough interest to stay fun without being fussy. Plan on several hundred yards of yarn for a long, wrapable scarf. Block it lightly so the stitch pattern opens and the hood sits comfortably on your head. Full sizing notes and diagrams are in the Studio Scoodie Dora Does
Supplies:
- Aran-weight yarn (cream or neutral, several hundred yards)
- 5.5–6.0 mm crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Stitch markers (optional)
Why it’s great: A polished, gender-neutral scoodie that goes with almost any winter coat.

It’s perfect if you love that bundled, slightly glamorous look and want a project that works up quickly in big stitches. Choose a soft super-bulky or jumbo yarn so it drapes instead of feeling stiff.

Through Thick and Thin Wool Scoodie

The hood and scarf share a long double-crochet-based pattern with special long dc stitches that create a rich, woven effect. Pointed fox ears and contrasting trim complete the look.

FAQs
1. What yarn is best for crochet scoodies?
For everyday winter wear, acrylic or wool-blend worsted and bulky yarns are ideal—they’re warm, durable, and often machine-washable. Super-bulky yarns like Bernat Blanket or fluffy novelty yarns are great for ultra-cozy or kids’ animal scoodies. Cotton is less warm but works if you need something for mild climates or wool sensitivities.
2. Can I machine wash my scoodie?
Always check the yarn label first. Many acrylics can be machine washed on gentle and tumble-dried low. Wool and wool blends often prefer hand washing or a cold, delicate cycle and laying flat to dry. For scoodies with ears, pockets, or long fringes, a mesh laundry bag helps prevent stretching and snagging.
3. How do I scale a pattern up or down?
To make a scoodie longer, add extra rows or repeats in the scarf section, keeping stitch counts consistent across both sides. For a deeper hood, increase rows in the hood rectangle before shaping. Children’s sizes usually need shorter scarf lengths and slightly shallower hoods; follow pattern measurements and adjust by 1–2″ at a time.
4. What fibers are safest for kitchen, bath, or heat?
For scoodies worn near real heat sources (campfires, stoves), avoid highly synthetic, fluffy yarns that can melt. Natural fibers like wool or cotton are safer choices. In damp or snowy conditions, superwash wool or wool blends stay warm even when wet, while cotton can feel heavy and chilly, so choose based on your climate and use.
5. How do I make my joins and edgings more durable?
Work your edging in single crochet around the entire scoodie, placing 2–3 stitches in corners to prevent puckering. When joining pockets or ears, stitch through at least two loops of the fabric and secure ends with a zigzag path instead of a straight line. Reinforce stress points like pocket corners and hood tops with extra stitches.
6. How much yarn do I need for baskets, pillows, or mats compared to scoodies?
Scoodies generally use a few hundred yards: lightweight adult versions may take 300–500 yards, bulky or animal scoodies with pockets and ears can climb to 500–800 yards. In comparison, chunky baskets and bath mats often eat 300–600 yards of super-bulky, and throw pillows can take 200–400 yards depending on size and stitch density.
7. Any tips for photographing my Crochet scoodie projects?
Use natural daylight near a window or outside in open shade. Hang the scoodie on a simple hanger or model it with the hood up so the shape is visible. Avoid busy backgrounds; a plain wall, door, or fence works well. Capture a close-up of the stitches plus one full-body or flat-lay shot of the entire Crochet scoodie.
8. How can I fix curling, stretching, or wavy edges on a scoodie?
Curling often comes from tight edges—go up a hook size on edging rows or add an extra stitch at corners. If your scoodie stretches, especially in heavy yarns, block it flat and store folded rather than hanging. Wavy edges usually mean too many stitches along the sides; for your next project, work fewer edge stitches per row and block to shape.
