1940s Women’s Winter Hood & Scarf Knitting Pattern – Vintage Headwear

This 1940s knitting pattern creates a practical winter hood with an attached scarf, designed to cover the head and wrap comfortably around the neck. The hood has a close-fitting ribbed edge around the face, with long scarf ends that can be crossed or tied for extra warmth.

Knitted in brush wool or knitting worsted, the finished fabric is brushed on both sides to give it a soft, slightly fluffy appearance. The pattern uses a simple knit 1, purl 1 rib.

The hood requires approximately 7 oz (198 g) of yarn and a pair of No. 8 (4 mm) knitting needles. The longest section measures 38 inches (96.5 cm) from the top of the head, while the shorter section measures 22 inches (56 cm).

The stated gauge is 8 stitches to 1 inch (2.5 cm), measured over the unstretched rib.

A useful 1940s winter accessory combining a fitted knitted hood and scarf in one design.
