3. Knitting technique. There can be several ways to knit a snood, for example, the knitting technology is the same as that of a regular scarf, then the loops are closed, and the edges of the product are sewn together to obtain a ring. The second option does not require stitching parts and is called circular knitting. Knitting patterns can also be very diverse - garter stitch, regular elastic, horizontal or vertical rows, and so on. On a snood, you can knit any pattern or pattern, the limitations are only in the skill and imagination of the master.
4. Materials for knitting. The quality of the yarn is of no small importance in knitting technology. Thin yarn will help to get a tighter knit, and soft and voluminous will make it possible to knit the same soft and airy scarf.

This season, not only snoods are especially fashionable, but also sets with a hat and even a pullover. Such sets are made in the same color scheme and with the same pattern.

• Pigtail drawing. This pattern has long been known, but does not lose its popularity, and looks great not only on sweaters and cardigans, but also on snoods. It is best to choose a solid color scheme so that the pattern is clearly visible.

Snood for a boy is not just a beautiful and fashionable accessory, but also a very practical and useful wardrobe item. Properly selected in size and width, the snood is able to protect the child much better from the winter cold and wind.

For a teenage boy, you need to choose a larger snood - from 20 cm wide and 127 long.For those who are going to knit snood with their own hands, you should also take into account the dimensions of the future product to calculate the required amount of yarn. For a boy of 4-6 years old, 1 skein of yarn weighing 100 grams will be required, for children of 7-9 years old - 2 skeins, and for a snood for a teenage boy 2-3 skeins.
