The Snow Queen Scoodie

Since it's Christmas In July, I thought I'd share a handmade gift I made for my daughter last Christmas. My daughter is a Frozen fanatic. I believe it was her first favorite movie, and I decided to make her a Frozen inspired hat and scarf set to keep her warm out here in the Pacific Northwest. Since Elsa was her favorite at the time (she alternates between Anna, Elsa, and Olaf being her favorite character), I decided to make the theme of the hat and scarf set kind of like Elsa with different shades of blue.

So I started with a scarf... I searched Pinterest for inspiration, and I found lots of scarves called fairy scarves, and they were gorgeous. They included a mixture of crochet and fabric and lace... just lovely. So for my daughter's scarf, I decided to weave sashay yarn through the holes, use the sashay yarn to create tassels, and add crochet leaves and fun fur. I didn't use a pattern to make the scarf and hat, and I attempted to make a pattern to share, but I think I only have the scarf pattern covered.

To make the scarf:

• Red Heart Icelandic

• ch 20+ and join to the end of the scarf.

Sooooo after I made the scarf, I decided that instead of making a hat and scarf set, I'd make a scoodie (hooded scarf). so I made a hood to attach to the scarf.

After I attached the hood to the scarf, I added faux fur around the opening and around where I stitched the hood and scarf together. I also added a furry pom-pom to the hood.

When my daughter wears this scoodie, people say it makes them think of Elsa/Frozen. Yay!
