Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials you'll need for this project:

Step 1: Creating a Slip Knot

To begin the project, we need to create a slip knot. Take two strands of yarn and join them together. Insert your crochet hook through the loop, then tighten the knot. This will serve as the foundation for our snood.

Step 2: Chain Stitching

Now that we have our slip knot, it's time to start chain stitching. In this tutorial, we will be chaining 118 stitches. Hold the slip knot with your non-dominant hand and yarn over the hook. Pull the yarn through the loop to create the first chain. Repeat this process until you have 118 chains.

Step 3: Double Crocheting

Once you have chained 118 stitches, we can start double crocheting. Count three chains from the hook and insert the hook into the fourth chain. Yarn over and pull up a loop, then yarn over again and pull through two loops. Repeat this process for each chain until you reach the end. Remember, the first chain three counts as a double crochet.

Step 4: Row 2 and Repeat

For row 2 and subsequent rows, we will be repeating the same process. Chain three, which serves as the first double crochet. Turn your work and double crochet into the second stitch. Continue double crocheting into each stitch until the end of the row. Repeat row 2 until you have a total of nine rows.

Step 5: Fastening Off

After completing nine rows, it's time to fasten off. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the yarn through the last loop and tie a knot to secure it. This will finish off your snood. Take your time in this step and make sure the knot is tight.

Step 6: Sewing in the Snood

To complete your snood, we need to sew in the seam. Fold the snood in half and ensure it is symmetrically placed. Using a tapestry needle, sew the seam using the mattress stitch. Start at one end and insert the needle into one side, then into the other side. Continue sewing until you reach the top of the seam. Tie a knot to secure the seam and fasten off.
