Well hello my lovely ones!!! How are we all? I seem to be on a go slow at the moment and I am rather late with my pattern for my January’s Ōilsyarns Club parcel. So apologies for that one!! Can’t believe it’s March already!! Hopefully I am now back in the land of the yarny living and able to bring you this snood pattern made with the magnificent hand dyed yarn from the amazing Abby Parkes at Luxury Yarn. Abby’s yarn is so beautiful!! I hope my snood pattern does it justice.
My daughter absolutely adores her Snuggle Snood I made for her from my November Ōilsyarns parcel, so thought it was about time I made one for my son. This was my daughter’s one. It’s my Snuggle Snood pattern and it uses the wonderful Trinity stitch. You can find it in the archive on the right. Her size is suitable for both child and adult alike.
So my pattern this time, is ever so simple, using only double and treble stitches with a few chain stitches thrown in. It will also show you how to work a Back Loop Treble Stitch, which is used in all sorts of patterns. This pattern is for both adult and child, so very versatile. Really hope you like it.
So getting back to the amazing yarn from Luxury Yarns. Seriously love this yarn. The hand dyed colours are just like little clouds in the sky, which is why I thought it would be perfect for my son. I’ve enclosed a link below to the amazing Luxury Yarn website if you fancy a peak or even subscribing to the amazing Ōilsyarns club. Trust me, it’s incredible!!
You won’t regret it!!! I am always awaiting my little parcel of yarny perfection to drop on my door mat. I think it’s the sense of yarny excitement of what is in the parcel and then the fun and joy of deciding what to make with it that is so utterly appealing. It reminds me of the really popular toy crazes at the moment, with things like LOL Dolls. The unknown toy!! Kids get so excited by these. Well this is the same in a seriously amazing yarny form! Exciting!! Yey!! So here’s the link. Happy peaking!!
So onto the pattern…
So with this pattern I have included sizes for a child and an adult. The one you see in the picture above is a child’s one. It fits my little son, with lots of room. So I would make it for say a one year old to a 5 year old. Where as the adult size would do a 6/7 year old an upwards to adulthood. I tend to borrow my daughter’s one when she let’s me! Both the sizes are included in the pattern. The child’s size is in the first bracket, so will look like this (30). And the adult will be given in bold writing (50), like so. Hope that makes sense.
Level – Easy
Supplies –
So I have used one skein of 5ply weight yarn 100g for this snood from the amazing Abby Parkes at Luxury Yarns, but you can easily use a double knit wool, as it will just be a little bigger.
My little ball of loveliness came out of this little box of magic. It’s my second instalment from the wonderful Abby Parkes over at Luxury Yarns. The Ōilsyarns Club parcel this time had comprises a skein of beautifully hand dyed yarn by Abby, two little essential oil gems from dōTERRA and a lovely little handmade jewel stitch marker.
Now for this pattern you will need to use a 4mm crochet hook. You will also need some scissors and a blunt ended tapestry needle to sew in your ends.
Stitches –
Chain (ch) – To make a chain, place the yarn over the hook then pull it through the loop on your hook.
Double Crochet (dc) – Insert the hook through the stitch, front to back, then yarn over hook and pull back through stitch. You will have two loops on your hook. Then yarn over your hook and pull through both loops.
Treble Crochet (tr) – To make a treble crochet, firstly yarn over your hook, insert through space/stitch, yarn over your hook, pull back through space/stitch. There should now be 3 loops on your hook. Then yarn over hook and pull through the first two loops, yarn over hook and pull through the last two loops.
Back Loop Treble Crochet (bltr) – To make a back loop treble crochet, firstly yarn over your hook, insert through the back loop of the stitch, yarn over your hook, pull back through the stitch. There should now be 3 loops on your hook. Then yarn over hook and pull through the first two loops, yarn over hook and pull through the last two loops.
Chain 1 Space – this will be refered to as ch1sp.
Ok so here we go…
1 – Ok so start off by chaining (30) (50) with your 4mm hook.
2 – Now chain 3 more and then work 1tr in the 4th chain from the hook. This is where the arrow is pointing.
To work a tr stitch, firstly yarn over your hook, insert through the stitch. Then yarn over your hook, pull back through the stitch. There should now be 3 loops on your hook.
Then yarn over hook and pull through the first two loops.
Yarn over your hook and pull through the last two loops. That completes your Treble Crochet Stitch.
Then continue working 1tr in each stitch across the row. (30)(50)
3 – Now turn your work and chain 3. In this row you are going to work back loop treble crochet (bltr) stitches. This is where you work only in the back loop of the row below. Can you see where the arrow is pointing. This is the back part of the V of the stitch, so the back loop.
So yarn over your hook and insert your hook into the back loop. Can you see that my hook is only going through the back part of the stitch.
Then yarn over your hook and pull through and then yarn over your hook and pull through the first 2 loops and then yarn over your hook and pull through the last 2 loops. This completes your bltr. *Now work 1bltr in the next stitch in the row.* Repeat this ** across the rest of the row.
Can you see how it is giving you a lovely ridge. This will give your snood that springy effect.
At the end of the row, work 1bltr in the last stitch. (30)(50)
4 – For the next row you are going to turn your work and chain 3. Then work 1bltr in the same stitch. *Now chain 1 and miss a stitch, then work 1bltr in the next stitch* (this is where the arrow is pointing.)
You are now going to repeat this ** process across the row.
At the end of the row, after the last ch1 and bltr just work 1bltr in the last stitch. (30)(50)
5 – Right so now we are going to turn our work and chain 3. Then work 1bltr in the first stitch. You are then going to work your 1tr in the chain 1 space from the row below. The arrow is showing in the photo below, where you need to insert your hook.
Can you see how the 1tr stitch has been worked in the chain 1 space.
So now work *1bltr in the next stitch and then 1tr in the ch1sp.* Then repeat this process across the row, finishing with 1bltr in the last stitch. (30)(50)
Ok so now it’s time to repeat the last 3 rows. So here’s the process again. Repeat these 3 rows (15) (23) times.
- Turn your work, Chain 3, 1bltr in the first stitch, then 1bltr in each stitch in the row. (30)(50)
- Turn your work, chain 3 and 1bltr in the first stitch, then *chain 1, miss a stitch and work 1bltr in the next stitch.* Repeat this ** across the row, finishing with 1bltr in the last stitch. (30)(50)
- Turn your work, chain 3 and work 1bltr in the first stitch and then 1tr in the ch1sp. *Now 1bltr in the next stitch and then 1tr in the ch1sp.* Then repeat this ** process across the row, finishing with 1bltr in the last stitch. (30)(50)
Obviously, if you wanted an infinity scarf, you could repeat the 3 row process for as long as you’d like. Hmm, now I think that might need to be made!!
Right then, so now it’s time to fasten up the snood. So to do this, place one half of the snood on top of the other. You are going to work dc stitches up the side to attach it to one another. So start by working 1 chain and then inserting your hook into your first stitch, then also into the first chain in the foundation stitch.
Now yarn over your hook and pull through the chain and then also back through the tr stitch. You should now have 2 loops on your hook. Now finish the dc stitch by placing the yarn over your hook and pulling through both loops.
Now continue working 1dc into each stitch in this same way – so working through both the tr stitches and the foundation chain stitches.
At the end of the row, once you have worked the last dc stitch, work a slip stitch in the same stitch and fasten off. (30)(50)
Now you should have a nice little ridge. This little ridge will be the inside of your snood. All you need to do now is sew in your ends with your tapestry needle. I always make sure I work it around the last stitch a few times, just to secure it a little.
And here’s the finished article. All you need to do now is turn it inside out.
I hope you have enjoyed this snood pattern. Please give me a shout if you get stuck. I bet it would look mega in a plain colour such as a grey. Can’t wait to see your finished articles. Don’t forget to link it to @pipsrainbow if you share it on social media.
Happy hooking everyone!!
