As the weather turns cold, we start thinking more and more about warm accessories. This hooded scarf is a fantastic way to keep warm and added detail to your winter look. The best part is that you can re-use a jumper that may not fit but you love the colours. Plus, it's very easy to make!

Start with a jumper and cut it across the chest horizontally. The distance from one sleeve to the other will be the scarf. The body of the jumper will become the hood by cutting out the shape you see below.

Simply sew the scarf in a straight line so that it's closed off. Pin the base of the hood to where the neck dips down on the jumper. Stitch the hood to the scarf and add any embellishments you can think of.

Use fun patterns, find different fabric for the inside of the hood, add pins, jewels, badges, cut fringe on the tips - you name it!
