Sunday, I was talking to a young girl in my church and asked her if she knew what a snood was. Low and behold she did. Put me to shame she did. She has actually put a snood on. A snood is a mesh type of hat, women wore alot in restaurants to keep their hair out of their way and out of food.
DEFINITION:
A snood is a type of headgear, historically worn by European women over their long hair. In the most common form it resembles a close-fitting hood worn over the back of the head. A tighter-mesh band may cover the forehead or crown, then run behind the ears and under the nape of the neck.
Todays fashions are wearing snoods-a knitted or crocheted type scarf around the neck. You slip the scarf up over your head as a hat to keep your head and ears warm.
If you can't afford these expensive snoods out on the market, take a shorter scarf, sew the ends together, and make your own snood. If you know how to knit, make a scarf on round sewing needs and knit to about 8 inches wide. Finish it off and wrap it around your neck once or twice depending how long the scarf is. Make one in soft mohair yarn or a fancy furry yarn.
