Since I have been a bad poster lately, I am redeeming myself with this snood pattern! See, the husband and I are Renaissance Faire lovers (We dress up and everything) so this year I decided to knit a snood to go with my outfit. Since my hair is growing to an obscene length, I need it up and out of the way. That, combined with a need for an instant gratification project in between all the other designs resulted in the snood.
Yarn Requirements: Lorna's Laces Lion & Lamb 1 skein in Gold Hill
Needles: Sz. US 6- 16" circular
Sz. US8- 16" circular
Gauge: 4 stitches to the inch in Stockinette St.
English Mesh Lace Pattern (From Barbara Walker's Treasury of Knitting Patterns):
Row 1,3,5,7: Knit
Row2:K1,(YO, SSK, K1, K2tog, YO, K1) to end of round
Row4: K1, (YO, K1, sl1, K2tog, PSSO, K1, YO, K1) to end of round
Row6: K1, (K2tog, YO, K1, YO, SSK, K1) to end of round
Row8: K2tog, (K1, YO, K1, YO, K1, Sl1, K2tog, PSSO) to last 5 stitches, K1, YO, K1, YO, K1, SSK
Using smaller needles, CO 72 stitches, work in K1, P1 rib for 5 rounds
Work 1 knit round, increasing 7 stitches evenly (79 stitches)
Switch to larger needles and begin working in the English Mesh Lace Pattern until work measure about 10 inches, ending with row 8 of pattern
Next 2 rows: K2tog around (20 stitches remain)
Cut yarn and thread tail through remaining stitches
Pull Tight
Weave in ends
Pretty simple and it would make a cute hat too, just shorten the length.
I am working this up in sock yarn now and going to try a different technique for closing it up and if it works, I'll post that one too! Eventually, I'll put this up on the sidebar, but I just wanted to get it posted.
Hope you enjoy it!
After a long search for a real snood I happily discovered your site. This winter (I'm in Australia) they are calling knitted tubes
"snoods". These are more like a cowl neck warmer.
So was thrilled to find your pattern. Thanks muchly! and cheers. ;-)

Do you have a viable business but lack the necessary finances to get it off it’s feet?

Saw your snood this morning and bookmarked your page. Now, several hours later, I'm back. Gotta say, I'm terribly smitten with your pattern here and am hoping to knit one for myself tomorrow. Which will probably require a trip to the LYS. Like that's a bad thing. Thanks!

Teresa- for short hair you could try shortening it, but I'm not sure how well it could work. My cousin with short hair tried mine on (her hair is chin length) and without the weight of the hair to pull it down, it didn't look the same. I like the idea of a muffin top though, those are really cute!

This is a fabulous snood and looks great on you, but I was wondering what kind of adjustments you'd make for someone with short hair. I have a modern haircut that looks lovely on me but I'd like to dress up for faire again (it's been years and I miss it) but I need to do something about my above shoulder length hair....would I make the snood smaller? Would a snood still be a good option or should I just purchase or make a muffin cap?
