Materials and tools
Depending on what you plan to wear this fashionable item with, the appropriate fabric is selected.
It is best to choose fabrics with a predominance of cotton in the composition. 100% cotton will not give softness. By choosing more natural fabrics, you get a wear-resistant and reliable product. There are no surprises when clothing is dyed, which can occur when using polyester. To make the product spectacular, you need to take two cuts of contrasting fabrics.
In addition, for sewing you will need:
- ruler and chalk for marking and cutting;
- scissors and pins;
- threads in color;
- sewing machine;
- decorative elements in the form of braid, ready-made mini-tassels, beads, etc.
Important! You should buy soft fabric that fits and drapes easily. Plus softness is always comfortable to wear. Rough fabrics are impractical to wear and can irritate the skin and chafe. In some cases, when you need a scarf that holds its shape, this selection rule can be skipped.
How to sew a snood scarf with your own hands
You can make a product to your liking for yourself, a child or a man. Depending on the occasion and purpose, the composition of the fabric and its size for the future scarf are selected.
Under a man's shirt
Men wear snoods under a shirt, jacket and even over a T-shirt. Consider the option of sewing from one type of fabric - the simplest and fastest option:
- Take a knitted fabric measuring 160 * 70 (length and width). If you plan to wear it on your head, like a hat, then this needs to be taken into account when calculating the width.
- Fold the fabric in half with the wrong side out and pin along the length of the future stitching area.
- Sew the seam using a machine.
- Turn right side out and join the two open edges together and sew them up from the inside.
Important! To determine the required width of the scarf, you need to take a centimeter and measure the distance from the forehead, along the head and to the desired length on the neck. Take into account the increase in the front bend of 6 - 8 cm. The result is a width that needs to be multiplied by two.
Under a woman's tunic
You can take two different fabrics - silk and lace fabric, each piece measuring 80*70 cm. Lace can be replaced with guipure. The effect when used is identical. The manufacturing method is as follows:
- Cut the fabrics in half lengthwise and sew, alternating silk and lace. Thus, you will get a canvas that resembles patchwork.
- Similar to the previous option, fold and sew along the length, forming a pipe.
- Then sew the ring, leaving holes so you can turn it right side out.
After turning it inside out, completely sew up the ring using a blind stitch.
Stole or collar under outerwear
Under outerwear, you can sew a snood with insulation - for example, fleece. Then you will have to make two lines along the length on one side and on the other, and then sew along the width, forming a ring.
After stitching, leave an opening for turning, which can then be sewn with hidden stitches. Since the scarf will be dense, to separate the face and back, to make the transition line more pronounced, you need to run an iron along the length on one side and the other.
Important! Two lines along the length are always needed when it is necessary to separate the face and the back. In this case, cuts are taken not 80*70, but 160*35.
other methods
If you want to make a snood scarf that is airy and one-sided, then you need to use a different technology:
- Take fabric measuring 160 by 70.
- Fold it 80 x 70 wide and sew a seam 70 cm wide.
- Process the edges manually along the entire length, bending the edges and hiding the cut inside. It is best to take threads from the fabric itself, so they will definitely remain invisible.
The result is a ring that has a face and a back.
Ideas on how to make snood more original
The most interesting ideas for transforming scarves, giving them some zest:
- An insert of wide lace incredibly transforms an ordinary knitted snood. Sewing is quite simple - connect the edges of the cuts with a strip of lace, closing them into a ring. It turns out romantic and stylish.
- Another scarf idea with clasps. Here the buttons are attached to faux leather inserts. An insert is sewn along the width on both sides, then buttons are simply attached to them. You can use an alternative - 1-2 large buttons, in this case it is permissible to do without insert strips. Sew buttons on one edge, and make 1-2 loops on the second.
- If you are sewing a plain snood from knitted fabric, use decor with beads. Attach randomly or in a checkerboard pattern throughout the entire canvas.
- At the junction of the ring, assemble it with an accordion and decorate it with a voluminous brooch. When dressing, it should always remain outside, as it serves as decoration.
Snood is a universal wardrobe item for men and women. It's a great replacement for boring scarves. With it, the image corresponds to fashion trends and trends.
