Knitting patterns for snood. Patterns with descriptions from thick yarn

Schemes with description snood pattern knitting with the approach of cold weather became popular among needlewomen. Historians have known the word "snood" since the 8th century, because that is what they called a headdress-net for long hair.

The accessory was mandatory for all classes, and its quality and the material it was made from determined the social status of a woman.

Necessary tools and materials

The knitting pattern for a snood, the diagram with a description of which is often found in fashionable thematic magazines on handicrafts, entered modern fashion in the 1940s and smoothly transformed from a hairnet into a hat, and then into a tube scarf.

The snood has many popular names. For example, it is also called an endless scarf, a loop, a tube, a neck warmer, a collar or a turtle neck. Translated from English, the word means "leash".

The modern version of the snood is a seamless round scarf made of wool, mohair, cashmere or cotton. Sometimes fur products are also found. The popularity of this accessory is due to its versatility.

It can be worn as:

• scarf;
• hat;
• hood;
• cape;
• bolero;
• top;
• skirt;
• dress.

It is equally suitable for both women and men. At the same time, the fashionable accessory matches any style of clothing, be it business office, walking or evening.

To make a warm tube scarf, experts recommend choosing yarn such as:

• "Alpaca";
• "Angora";
• "Cashmere";
• "Merino";
• "Mohair".

Alpaca is the name given to yarn made from the wool of South American mountain llamas. Each adult animal produces no more than 3 kg of wool per shearing. Pure thread from this natural material is rarely found on sale, as it is very expensive.

Products made from llama wool are warm, light and dirt-repellent. To add volume to the yarn and reduce its weight, acrylic thread is usually added to it. There are 2 types of alpacas: suri and huacaya. The former are very rare animals, while 95% of the yarn sold is made from huacaya wool.

Angora thread is made from the down of Chinese rabbits. The material is distinguished by its soft, thin and very fluffy pile, and 1 animal produces more than 1.5 kg of material per year. Animal down in its pure form is difficult to fix, so it is mixed with acrylic and other materials to give it the desired qualities.

Angora products retain heat well, are weightless and very fluffy. In addition, the thread is easily dyed, taking on any desired color. The disadvantage is that over time, the thin fibers fall out of the product, leaving only the usual warm fabric.

Cashmere is considered an elite material. The yarn is obtained from the undercoat of mountain goats living in Nepal, China and India, and 1 animal produces no more than 0.2 kg of fluff at a time.

Pure cashmere thread is thinner than human hair, so products made from it are light, soft and delicate. In addition, the yarn has a noble, slightly perceptible shine. Cashmere items are thin, durable and wear-resistant, for which they are highly valued in the fashion world.

Merino yarn is a material obtained from the wool of the eponymous sheep with a thin fleece, which are found in North Africa, Spain, Australia and Asia Minor. The main difference between this material and other woolen ones is that it absorbs moisture well, remaining dry.

Merino yarn products are breathable, retain heat, and are elastic. The material is hypoallergenic and does not prick sensitive skin. Items made from it are wear-resistant and wash well.

Mohair is another natural yarn suitable for knitting winter clothes. The thread is made from the wool of Turkish goats living in the mountains of the province of Angora. Mohair used to be called angora, but after the appearance of Chinese yarn with the same name, it was renamed to avoid confusion.

Mohair products retain heat well and, at the same time, allow the body to breathe freely. The material does not cause irritation or allergies. Mohair does not wrinkle and almost does not burn, which makes it one of the favorite materials for creating warm things.

Experts recommend when choosing yarn:

1. Crumple the ball in your hands.
2. Smell the material.
3. "Fluff" the end of the thread.
4. Read the ingredients on the label.
5. Find out how to care for a product made from the selected material.

When buying, you need to take the skein in your palm and slightly crush it. The test will show how the material behaves when in contact with the skin and what sensations it causes.

You need to understand how the thread smells in order to determine its quality. If the skein has an unpleasant stale or barely perceptible chemical smell, then you shouldn't buy it.

Experts recommend "fluffing" the end of the thread. To do this, place it between your thumb and forefinger. By fiddling with the material, you can determine how quickly it will fall apart and how long a thing made from it will last. The test also allows you to see the quality of the thread winding and understand whether the fiber is uniform.

Before buying any item, you should always familiarize yourself with its composition. This way, the quality of the yarn and how much of it is needed to create a tube scarf are determined. In addition, the manufacturer usually indicates on the label the appropriate diameter of the knitting needles or hook that can be used to work with the material.

It is necessary to ask the seller how to care for products made from the yarn you like. This is necessary in order to extend the life of things and make wearing more comfortable.

Having decided on the choice of threads, proceed to the selection of knitting needles and additional auxiliary tools. The snood is usually knitted with circular knitting needles. Thus, the item turns out to be one piece without a seam. Some use separate knitting needles, and at the end of the work, sew the two halves together with a mattress stitch.

To select the correct diameter of the knitting needles, you need to make a hole in the paper and pass the thread through it. If it passes freely and does not sag or catch on the edges, then the diameter of the knitting tool is selected correctly.

The knitting needles can be made of metal, plastic or wood. The main thing is that their ends are not too sharp and not blunt. In addition to knitting needles, experienced needlewomen recommend having several plastic marker pins, a soft tape measure, a needle and scissors.

Schemes with description of works for beginners

A pattern for a snood with knitting needles, a diagram with a description of which can be of varying complexity, can be selected for both experienced needlewomen and beginners. Scarves-collars are made with several types of loops.

edge first	always removed untied
edge last	knit either purl or knit (depending on the recommendations)
