What is snood and its benefits
Snood is a type of classic scarf. It differs from the usual type of scarf in its shape, which has the appearance of “infinity”. The accessory takes on this form in two ways:
The ends of the knitted straight fabric are sewn together;
The product is knitted in the round (seamless option).
Previously, when the snood scarf began to come into fashion, it was called: “pipe”, “collar”. Over time, the product was modernized, and it began to be called snood, its second name is “a scarf without beginning and end.”
Taking into account fashion trends, the snood scarf is actively used by the entire population of the planet, from the smallest to the adult. By gender, an accessory can differ only in: design; color; additional decor.
Comfortable snood scarf
Advantages of a snood scarf:
- When putting on an accessory, you have to rack your brain about how best to tie it to your child, so that the throat is always warm during outdoor games and is not exposed to wind and cold air.
- It is put on over the head and placed in the desired position; even the smallest child can cope with this task.
- A universal product, it replaces two items from your wardrobe at once - a scarf and a hat.
- A snood scarf is an accessory that is used in all seasons.
- The accessory fits any wardrobe and harmonizes perfectly with different items of clothing.
The snood, knitted with your own hands, will be the only copy, so it will make the baby stand out from the general crowd of children. A correctly selected bright color and beautiful design of the product will make the child’s image trendy and unique.
How to choose the right yarn
When choosing yarn for snood, you need to be careful and take into account several nuances:
- The color of the finished product should be in harmony with the color of the baby's outerwear or the color of his eyes.
- For the winter period, a scarf-collar that fits tightly to the throat is perfect. Its color should be bright, but not red tones and shades. In the cold and without highlighting with color, a child’s cheeks are rosy from the frost. It is also better to avoid green color, it can play a cruel joke and make your child look sick.
- The size of the accessory is another main point when choosing a knitting pattern. An incorrectly selected size will look awkward on the baby and will not protect against frost.
- For the demi-season season, snood is knitted from thin wool yarn, with any type of “elastic”, which will give the product pomp and originality.
- In the winter cold, an accessory made of thick yarn, angora goat fluff, and a voluminous shape looks relevant.
- On warm spring days, a snood made of natural threads (cotton, linen, bamboo), knitted with an openwork pattern, will come in handy for walks.
- To decorate the accessory use: beads, various thematic appliqué designs, rhinestones.

What you need for work:
- Children's yarn (100% wool, 50g/200m) – 100g;

The height and length vary at the discretion of the needlewoman, it all depends on how the product will be worn.
The “double rice” pattern is used in knitting; it is good because the product has the same pattern on both the front and back sides. If your child has to put on an accessory on his own, no matter how he puts it on, it will always be correct.
The scarf-collar is knitted in two ways: in the round and straight. In the first option, you need to mark the junction of the loops with a marker. The second option is knitted in turning rows, each row ending with a purl loop. This is done to form a smooth edge of the product, so that after stitching the accessory will have an invisible seam.
Description of work:
Cast on 80 stitches on the knitting needles, then knit according to the pattern:

Snood for a boy with knitting needles: diagram, description, video
This snood-collar model for a 3-4 year old boy is knitted in the round. The thread for the volume of the product is taken in two folds. The height of the collar is 20 cm. The pattern and description are quite simple, so for those who have never knitted such things, this is a chance to make a fashionable accessory for a baby with their own hands.
To obtain a voluminous scarf, you need to select yarn of appropriate thickness and composition. If the knitter knits tightly, then it is recommended to take the knitting needles a size larger, otherwise, the tool is selected a size smaller than the recommended one. For example, on the wrapper of a skein of yarn, needles No. 3 are indicated; for loose (weak) knitting, you need to take No. 2.5 mm.
The following materials were used for the sample:
- Children's yarn Nako bambino 50g/130m – 100g;
- Circular knitting needles No. 3.5 and length 80 cm.
Knitting begins with a set of loops, continues with knitting an elastic band and the main pattern, and ends again with an elastic band.
Description of the work progress:
Cast on 105 stitches on the knitting needles, the last stitch is additional to join the row. There are 104 main loops in total.
We close the ring: we pull the first loop of the cast-on row through the last one.
You should get an even circle on the knitting needle; when knitting the first row, you need to make sure that the loops do not twist, but lie flat, this will determine the beauty and neatness of the finished product.
Rib: 1x1, knitted by alternating knit and purl stitches. In each subsequent row, knit over knit, purl over purl. Knit 3 cm high.
Let's move on to knitting the main pattern according to the pattern below:
Description of the main pattern:
Rows 1 to 5: *knit (k), purl 2 (p), k 3, p 2*, repeat from* to* until the end of the row.
From rows 6 to 10: *k2, p2, knit, p2, k*, repeat from* to* until the end of the row.
The pattern is knitted alternating with rows 1-5 and rows 6-10. One repeat is: 8 loops long, 10 rows high.
Knit a height of 14 cm, but if the repeat in height is not finished, then it is better to tie it so that the product has a finished pattern.
For the final stage in knitting a snood, we switch to a 1x1 elastic band and knit another 3 cm.
Close the loops using any known method.
Moisten the finished product, spread it out and dry it on a flat surface. This is done so that all the loops of the accessory are aligned and take on the same shape, and the product itself looks neat, just like it came from a store.

Snood for a child: diagram, description, video
To knit a scarf-collar for a child, the yarn must be chosen so that when you touch the baby’s delicate skin, it does not cause allergic reactions and does not prick.

In “Yarn” stores, there are entire shelves with yarn, which is intended for children's products. Therefore, it is quite easy to choose the appropriate material for children's accessories.
Knitting a snood for a baby is simple and will only take a few hours; even a novice needlewoman can easily cope with this simple knitting pattern.
To work you will need:
- Children's yarn – 1 skein;
- Knitting needles according to yarn size.
If preference is given to circular knitting needles, then the product will be knitted in the round to the desired height. Using straight turning rows, the accessory will be knitted to the desired length, then the ends will be sewn to each other.
In any case, the finished snood will be very warm, beautiful and cozy. The most important thing is that the child’s throat will always be closed and protected from wind and frost.
