What is a snood?

A snood is an accessory, both ends of which are connected in the form of a circle. It is convenient in that during wearing it a person does not interfere with the dangling ends, which all the time strive to untie.

Earlier, the scarf-hoof was used only as a bandage, but now it is a stylish accessory that helps to keep warm in cold weather or complement your image in the spring and summer.

The snood comes in:

in one or two turns;
in the form of a pipe;
As a hood;
In the form of a trapeze.

It can be worn as a bolero, a hood or a scarf. This thing allows you to change the image, without spending a lot of money on the purchase of missing accessories.

Knitting tools

The right tools form the beauty and neatness of the future scarf. The snood is knitted with the help of needles or crochet. There are several other ways to create this accessory, but for beginners, these are the right ones.

Knitting a scarf with needles consumes less material and makes the piece softer and warmer. The thing connected by crochet will be thicker.

For a snood take straight and circular needles.

If there is a desire to knit a scarf in the form of a canvas, you need to take the first kind of tools. And if you want to make a seamless scarf and knit it in a circle, then for the craft will suit the second option of spokes.

How to choose the right threads

If the snood is planned to wear in winter, then you need to choose threads made of wool. These include merino, alpaca, sheep, llama, material with goat or rabbit down, angora.

Acrylic or bamboo threads will work well for spring and fall accessories. You can combine yarns - acrylic and wool, microfiber and alpaca or cotton.

For summer, fabrics made of cotton or any other thin, smooth material are excellent.

Yarn for children's snoods should be soft and not cause allergies and other unpleasant feelings. Cashmere, merino and acrylic meet these requirements.

It is not recommended to use bouclé and mohair for a snood. They will often cling to the accessories, and the nap of the fabrics will stick to the mucous membranes of the mouth and cause discomfort.

Mohair is acceptable in double-turn snoods and in a circular scarf that is worn as a hood.

When choosing yarns, you should consider that their color should be in harmony with your coat or down jacket.

For a standard snood 1-2 skeins of 100 grams of material will be enough.

If the scarf-collar will be for 2 turns, it is better to take 3-4 skeins.

What kind of needles should I choose?

The needles must necessarily be twice thinner than the threads. So the product will be more clear and neat.

There are straight, circular, aluminum and wooden tools.

The first kind will be suitable for a scarf, which will be connected by a canvas.

Circular needles should be chosen by those who want to knit the product in a circle.

Aluminum tools are great for fluffy yarns.

Wooden needles with nibs are good for smooth viscose, bamboo, or wool yarns.

Calculating the loops

To knit a canvas, the calculation of the loops is carried out as follows:

A sample scarf with a length of 10 cm and a width of 10 cm is knitted;
Then we need to count the number of loops on 10 cm;
choose the width of the snood.

For example, the width of the scarf will be 30 cm. And there are 16 loops per 10 cm of the pattern.

So, 30 must be divided by 10 and multiplied by 16. It turns out 48 loops.

If the snood is knitted in a circle, then it is necessary to calculate not in width, but in length. To determine this value is necessary:

stretch your arms out to the sides;
measure the distance between them.

For example, the snood has two turns and a length of 140 cm. And in the sample for 10 cm had 20 loops.

To find out their number for the whole product, you need to divide 140 by 10 and multiply the result by 20.

How to determine the size

For comfortable wearing it is important to choose the right size snood.

Standard sizes:

circular scarf for children - length and width of 50 cm each;
snood for men - length 35 cm, width 65 cm;
scarf-pipe - 60 cm and 44 cm, respectively;
a two-turn clamp - from 20 to 110 cm and from 30 to 120 cm.

The product should be free to slip through the head and not squeeze the neck.
