I havnt been a knitter for years and years but this pattern,
found at the op-shop followed me home.
The ladies in the Tv series The Borgias wore Snoods quite often.
How on earth did they get them to stay on before hairclips were invented?
I thought they looked lovely over beautiful long hair, and they also lend themselves to some beading embellishing.
Sooooooooooooo, for those knitters out there.
here is the pattern.
