An unusual element of a woman's wardrobe is the snood scarf. Its popularity is easily explained; it can be worn as an elongated scarf and, if necessary, placed on the head. The ease of knitting, since intricate patterns are rarely used, attracts even beginner knitters. But how much yarn to buy for “snood”, which threads to choose, the optimal length and width of the product, we will analyze in this article.
The concept of "snood"
This is a type of scarf that is knitted in the round, meaning it has no beginning or end. That is why he received his second name - “infinity scarf”.
Whatever they called it, it is a “scarf-pipe”, as well as a “scarf-collar”. If you visit stores abroad, these products are called “circular scarf” or “endless”.
An original scarf in the shape of a circle, worn in a twisted figure eight, it looks so much like infinity.
Snood size 2 turns for an adult
Despite the simplicity of the models, there are various options for these products. For an adult, the most common size of the product is two turns:
- length approximately 140-170 cm;
- width – 25-50 cm.
This type of scarf is comfortable to wear, and the double wrap is used as a hood.
Important! For the convenience of the hood, it is better to make a wide “snood”. If you like a narrow scarf with even folds, then choose a smaller length/width.
Therefore, you first need to decide what is needed.
Professional knitters can give practical advice. The length of the scarf is 2 turns equal to our arms spread apart.
How to calculate how much yarn is needed for a snood?
The amount of yarn directly depends on the level of complexity and volume of the selected pattern. The density of the knitted fabric and the size of the knitting needles also affect yarn consumption.
If you knit a “snood” in 2 turns with stocking (garter) stitch of medium density, you will need at least 250 g of yarn. One skein of dense yarn contains about 150 g (120 m), i.e. for the product we need 2 skeins of yarn.
Choosing the right yarn for snood
The classic snood scarf is long and well draped. Modern models exist in different solutions. They can be made of fabric, yarn, various shades, lengths and, of course, widths.
The models are knitted from warm and fine wool so that it can be worn at different times. In winter, a warmer scarf, and in the off-season - light and openwork.
The color palette is selected to suit any look, from strict classics to free casual style.
