Winter knitwear never goes out of style. Thick knitted sweaters, long scarves and hats of various styles and colors decorate the catwalks from year to year, complementing the warm and warm autumn and winter clothes. The last trend of the fashionable autumn-winter wardrobe was a hood-scarf made of fabric or knitwear, sewn or knitted from wool.
A bit of history
We can say that he again became fashionable, since similar models were found earlier, starting from the beginning of the 20th century. Changing outwardly a little, acquiring bright original accents, the hood-scarf has been a simple and very original accessory not only for women but also for men for over a century. It should be said that the fashion designers borrowed it from the men's wardrobe, since the prototype of this fashionable thing was the cap - a part of military uniforms that protected soldiers and officers from wind and cold.
What now?
A modern fashionable scarf hood has several varieties. Firstly, this is a model resembling a head-piece - a hood made of a scarf folded in half, with long wide ends that can be wrapped several times around the neck, crossed over the chest and tied at the waist, or simply loosely released from both sides.
The ends of the scarf are decorated with embroidery, gathered on a thread and sew a pompom or brush, sew two patch pockets, which are convenient to hide your hands.
Knitted scarf-hood is made of thick or thin woolen yarn with smooth, embossed or openwork knitting. The most suitable patterns are those designed for knitting scarves. This piece of clothing, made of thick yarn, will complement the warm sports jacket in leather or raincoat. A scarf-hood made of thin thread, lace or embossed knitting will be a great addition to an elegant winter coat or fur coat.
Another model is called a “pipe” or “snood”. Rather, it resembles a collar-collar, which is easily transformed into a hood. They knit such an accessory in the form of a wide rectangle, the length of which is measured by the oval of the face. For work, circular knitting needles are used, a seamless pattern is obtained, or the usual two knitting needles, then the finished product is sewn with an invisible knitted seam.
Snud - a wide "collar" made of a long knitted rectangle, the ends of which are sewn together and are closed in a circle. Snood is put on the head, then the ends are crossed by an eight under the chin and thrown around the neck again in the form of a collar, laying with beautiful folds. They are complemented by both sportswear and classic elegant, depending on how viscous and what kind of yarn it is knitted. Graceful lace patterns will be an original addition to a pullover and a thin sweater.
A knitted hood-scarf is suitable not only for women’s wardrobe, but also for men, if it is made from soft yarn with a simple viscous and more strict, laconic form.
Scarf-hood for men, rather, should resemble all the same head, only more modern and fashionable. A similar model is presented in the picture. It is knitted from thick wool with an English elastic band and consists of a long scarf to which a separately knitted hood is sewn. A thick crochet from crochets is laid along the edge so that the edge is tight and holds its shape well. Such an accessory perfectly protects from wind and cold, it can easily be thrown off your head in the room, leaving on your shoulders in the
form of a scarf.
