HOODED TIMBER WOLF SCARF
Free Crochet Pattern

Introduction:
The Hooded Timber Wolf Scarf is a fun and whimsical winter accessory! It comes with cozy hand pockets, and you can wear it akin to a vest over your body, or wrapped snugly around your neck. This furry snoodie is quick to work up with simple stitches, a large hook, and super bulky textured yarn. Minimal sewing is involved as the hood and scarf sections are crocheted all as one piece, with the ears separately attached at the end. The animal ears can resemble a cat or fox as well. This is great for Halloween or cosplay costumes, as a birthday or Christmas holiday gift, or just for anyone who loves staying cozy and cute during the cold!
This pattern features Lion Brand Yarn’s Go for Faux yarn, which creates the softest hooded scarf you’ll ever crochet. It has a lovely and relaxed drape as well, without feeling heavy on the head. You can also opt for similar furry or fluffy yarns!
