My sister really likes to go to the Rennaisance Festival. This year, she’s planning on dressing up and needed something to do with her hair. She wanted a knitted snood originally, since she knits. The pattern she loved on ravelry was crocheted, though, so she asked me to make it.
The pattern uses yarn and thread held together. This one was made with black yarn held together with some shiny black and gold thread. Overall, I thought this pattern was easy to understand and fairly accurate. I suggest that anyone making this snood NOT follow the length listed in the pattern. Instead, you should hold the snood up to your own head occasionally to sort of try it on and see if it’ll fit. The pattern length headband was incredibly long and I don’t know anyone with a head big enough for a snood that size to fit. I had to frog some and redo it so that it would work out. Also, the little bun holding portion could be made smaller if you have less hair – just do the increases up to 7 or 8 instead of to 9 and decrease as the pattern says.
These pictures are of me wearing the snood. I look kind of weird in them, but the snood looks pretty good. It’s REALLY cute in person!
This is the front/top of the snood. I almost left off the scallops, but that made it look more 1987 than Renfest.
A sort of 3/4 view of the back. You can see the little rings. The pattern calls for a rose to be crocheted and attached there, but my sister wanted that left off.
The back of the snood, straight on.
The pattern can be found here.
