Snoud models
Scarves are divided not only into light for off-season and warm for winter, but also into long and short, narrow and wide. Single loop (Single Loop), or snood in one revolution, knitting or crocheting knits very quickly, it is convenient to wear, as you do not need to wrap around the neck. Such a scarf looks like a pipe, it covers the whole neck. Some models can even be worn on the head instead of a scarf or hood; they are wider.

A variety of patterns of patterns for scarves allows you to create a unique accessory. It can be delicate lace or rough “grunge” knitting, it all depends on your preferences and personal style.
Which yarn to choose?
If you knit a scarf in spring or early autumn, then cotton yarn is ideal , in combination with acrylic. It is not as warm as wool, and you will not be hot in the room. In addition, it is natural, does not irritate delicate skin and does not cause itching.
In winter, you can not do without a warm woolen accessory. True, natural wool can be prickly, so choose a mixed yarn, for example, wool + acrylic or mohair + acrylic. The most pleasant types of yarn to wear: the most gentle kid mohair, alpaca, merino, angora, cashmere.
Knitting needles
Having decided on the type of yarn, we choose knitting needles for work. What tool to choose to knit a snood in one revolution with knitting needles? For work, you can use both simple straight knitting needles and circular. In the first case, the ends of the snood will need to be sewn or connected using a hook, in the second case, knitting goes in a circle and the product is obtained without seams.
Choose the thickness of the needles based on the recommendations for the selected yarn. But if you want the scarf to be softer and loose, take the knitting needles one or two numbers thicker than recommended. The same advice can be given if the accessory is made of mohair.
Choose the material of the knitting needles from your preferences: plastic, metal or bamboo. The main thing is that they are straight and have no burrs. For circular knitting needles, make sure that the cable is firmly attached to the base of the knitting needles, and the joint is strong without a gap, otherwise pulls on the yarn cannot be avoided.
How to choose a scarf size?
The width of the snooze in two turns with knitting needles is usually from 30 to 50 cm. The larger size is suitable for a scarf-pipe in one revolution. Such a snood can be worn on the head; it will replace a hat or a hood. This accessory looks very feminine and does not spoil the hair. Choose high-quality natural yarn so as not to injure or electrify your hair.
It is better not to make the long and short scarves too narrow, as they will not properly cover and warm the neck.
Knitting pattern for a long scarf
The most ideal pattern for a long snud is double-sided, which looks beautiful on both sides. If the wrong side of the picture is unsightly, then the accessory will have to be constantly adjusted so that the inside is not visible. The "pearl" pattern looks beautiful, as well as almost all types of elastic bands - English, French, Polish. The latter looks most original.
How to knit a snood in two turns with knitting needles with a Polish gum? To get a scarf with a length of 100 cm, put on circular knitting needles from 60 to 80 loops (depending on the thickness of the yarn) and connect the knitting into a ring.
