A snood is called a tube scarf or ring scarf. This scarf has no ends and is not tied around the neck: its edges are neatly sewn together to form a wide ring. This design allows you to effectively drape the snood around your neck without fear of something accidentally getting knocked out or unraveling. Another convenience will be the ability to use the snood as a scarf and hat at the same time. The flexibility of the ring allows you to make a kind of hood out of it.
No wonder that Snoods, having come into fashion several years ago, are not losing ground from season to season. Today, from a trendy novelty, they have become familiar classics that many women have in their wardrobes. By the way, not only women, the versatility of such a scarf allows you to create models for men and, of course, for children.
Interesting! In foreign online stores, snoods can be found as infinity scarf.
It deserves this poetic name due to its shape. When folded, it can resemble a figure eight - an infinity sign.. And when unfolded, the ring has neither beginning nor end.
