love2read Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 These are the hot topic of conversation amongst the homeschool moms in my area. It's almost at the collect and trade level ;) I never heard of them before, but tried to look in the know all the same. Are they new this year? The one I saw was fabric and very plush inside.

Susann Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 People collect & trade hooded scarves:confused: Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AStableBeginning Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 This looks like something my oldest would like. Adding to Christmas gift ideas, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I had to look it up, but yeah, I'd have one! Maybe, since they're bigger than hats or scarves, they'd be less easy for my kids to lose? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Never heard of it, but after looking it up, I want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujsky Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I had to look them up too. Here's a link in case you don't want to google it. I bet they'd be easy to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuddleJumper1 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I was given one for a gift when I was in high school (more than 20 years ago) Dark green knit but not homemade - it was from a dept. store. At first I thought is was dorky looking :tongue_smilie:but I learned to love it. Kept it for years. I should have kept it longer - I'd be right in style :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy in FL. Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I thought your post said scoodle. I figured it must be a cross between a poodle and ??? Maybe some new hypo-allergenic breed. But then I read the part about fabric and plush insides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I was given one for a gift when I was in high school (more than 20 years ago) Dark green knit but not homemade - it was from a dept. store. At first I thought is was dorky looking :tongue_smilie:but I learned to love it. Kept it for years. I should have kept it longer - I'd be right in style :lol: I have a blue knitted one that is that old! I don't like it. The hood part is way too big for me and so it doesn't fit right. Being a pack rat, though, I have to admit that I still have it. Maybe I should donate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I thought your post said scoodle. I figured it must be a cross between a poodle and ??? Maybe some new hypo-allergenic breed. But then I read the part about fabric and plush insides! I thought the same thing. I checked out the link. My teen would definitely wear one of those.

PuddleJumper1 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The hood part is way too big for me and so it doesn't fit right. I'll bet they were made by the same company. The hood part on mine was way too big - hence the dorky part. :lol: The loving part for me came in during college. It was nice for walking around a snow covered campus in New York.

Just Jane Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I wouldn't wear it but I know a few people who probably would, thanks for the Christmas gift idea! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranquilMind Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I had to look them up too. Here's a link in case you don't want to google it. I bet they'd be easy to make. Hey, that's not the original! I have the original in my closet, from oh, 25 years ago! I still wear it in the winter sometimes. I guess I'm cool again.:confused::tongue_smilie: If you just wait long enough, your clothes are in style again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm cool again.:confused::tongue_smilie: If you just wait long enough, your clothes are in style again. That's what my dad said in the 80's about his old bellbottom jeans. When we were all rolling our jeans tight at the ankles, I thought he was nuts. :lol: Never heard of a scoodie... interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0mmaBuck Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I think my mom still has ours from the 80s.... She always has a bin of extra hats, scarves, mittens, etc. at the farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloversandlions Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I know dd11 would want one, but ds13 was just at the computer as I opened the link above, and now he wants one. I'm just not convinced by the guys on that website wearing them, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I bought one at target 2-3 years ago. I like that I can put it down like a hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommie_Jen Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I've never heard of them, but they look interesting. I have a nice long thick wide scarf that my mom made for me some years back that I pretty much wear the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collect and TRADE??!! COOTIES! (or would that be "scooties?") sorry--- I live in fear of lice and bedbugs. I've never had either but I fear the clock is ticking. astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they look pretty easy to make: There's also a ton of knitting and crochet patterns on Ravelry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I read the part about fabric and plush insides! I did, too! My 11yo made a horrible face and shook her head vehemently. I think she shares my distaste for "combo" things.

love2read Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Apparently it doesn't mess up one's hair which is part of the appeal in our mom's group. This one looks so warm and plush and it has directions http://indietutes.blogspot.com/2007/09/scoodie.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trez Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I didn't know that was what these were called. They have some at Stitches here that are animal heads with paws on the end of the scarf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
