Starry Snood
Product Details
Experience Level: Intermediate
Add a little dazzle to your knitting and your wardrobe with this sparkling snood hat (you can get away with calling it a slouch hat, beanie, toque, or beret, too). The Starry Snood is worked in soft merino wool and sprinkled with glass beads. The combination of bead colors and yarn is practically endless!
Construction Details
Beads are strung onto the yarn before working the hat. The hat is worked from the top center of the hat towards the brim. Since the beads are gathered more densely at the top of the hat, the construction allows the knitter to work the majority of their beads right at the beginning of the project.
Pattern is written in words and in chart form. Knit according to preference.
