Scarf with hood

Abstract

A scarf made from a loop of clothing material forms a channel between a front opening and a rear opening. The fastening device secures together opposing portions of a rear perimeter of the loop of clothing thereby reducing a size of the rear opening relative to a size of the front opening and forming a hood within a portion of the channel forward of the fastening device.

1 . A scarf comprising:
 a loop of clothing material forming a channel between a front opening and a rear opening;   a fastening device securing together opposing portions of a rear perimeter of the loop of clothing material thereby reducing a size of the rear opening relative to a size of the front opening and forming a hood within a portion of the channel forward of the fastening device.   
     
     
         2 . The scarf of  claim 1 , wherein the loop of clothing material is formed from natural fibers. 
     
     
         3 . The scarf of  claim 2 , wherein the natural fibers are knitted natural fibers. 
     
     
         4 . The scarf of  claim 3 , wherein the loop of clothing material comprises an elongate strip of clothing material having opposing ends secured together by a stitched seam of natural fibers. 
     
     
         5 . The scarf of  claim 4 , wherein the elongate strip of clothing material is rectangular. 
     
     
         6 . The scarf of  claim 1 , wherein a plane formed by an entirety of the front opening is generally parallel with a plane formed by an entirety of the rear opening. 
     
     
         7 . The scarf of  claim 1 , wherein the loop of clothing material has a substantially uniform width around a circumference of the loop of clothing material. 
     
     
         8 . The scarf of  claim 1 , wherein the fastening device is a stitched seam. 
     
     
         9 . The scarf of  claim 8 , wherein the stitched seam is constructed of natural fibers. 
     
     
         10 . The scarf of  claim 1 , wherein the hood is sized to receive an adult human head. 
     
     
         11 . The scarf of  claim 1 , wherein the size of the rear opening is between sixty to seventy percent of the size of the front opening. 
     
     
         12 . The scarf of  claim 1 , wherein a width of the loop of clothing material is between ten to thirty percent of a circumference of the loop of clothing material. 
     
     
         13 . A scarf comprising:
 a loop of clothing material forming a channel between a front opening and a rear opening;   a seam securing together opposing portions of a rear perimeter of the loop of clothing material thereby reducing a size of the rear opening relative to a size of the front opening and forming a hood within a portion of the channel forward of the seam.   
     
     
         14 . The scarf of  claim 13 , wherein the loop of clothing material is constructed from an elongate strip of clothing material. 
     
     
         15 . The scarf of  claim 13 , wherein the loop of clothing material is constructed from a rectangular strip of clothing material with a length approximately five times its width. 
     
     
         16 . The scarf of  claim 13 , wherein the seam securing together opposing portions of the rear perimeter is configured to oppose a back portion of an adult human head when the hood of the scarf is worn. 
     
     
         17 . A method of making a scarf, comprising:
 producing a loop of clothing material forming a channel between a front opening and a rear opening;   securing together opposing portions of a rear perimeter of the loop of clothing material to reduce a size of the rear opening relative to a size of the front opening and to form a hood within a portion of the channel above the rear opening.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein producing the loop of clothing material comprises stitching together opposing ends of an elongate strip of clothing material. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein producing the loop of clothing material comprises generating a tube of clothing material. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein securing together opposing portions of the rear perimeter comprises stitching together the opposing portions of the rear perimeter using natural fibers.
