My Projects: Perky Snood Progress

You may remember I started crocheting a snood from a vintage pattern. Here is my progress so far. I hope the opening comes out large enough to fit my head. If not I will have to start over. We'll see!
The yarn is Red Heart Classic worsted medium weight wool in #3 Off White. I want the snood to be chunky and have a lot of texture.

This is the image that came with the pattern. What I'm aiming for!

My Projects: Perky Snood

I've started crocheting this "Perky Snood" from 1942! It seems simple enough but I've already had to restart it. I'm using white acrylic which I hope will look good against my black hair. I will post pics soon when it gets more interesting. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, should you want to make one too here is the free pattern!
