Wed Inspired Crochet Snood – Free Pattern
I’d be happy to provide you with a description of a “Wedding Inspired Crochet Snood” along with a basic pattern outline. A snood is a versatile and elegant accessory that can be a lovely addition to a wedding outfit or any special occasion. Here’s a simple and free pattern to create your very own wedding-inspired crochet snood.
Materials Needed:
- Fine or lace weight yarn in a color of your choice (white or cream is traditional for weddings).
- Crochet hook size appropriate for your yarn (typically a smaller hook, like a 2.5mm or 3mm).
- Needle for weaving in ends.
- Decorative elements like beads or pearls (optional).
Instructions:
1. Foundation Chain:
- Start by chaining a multiple of 8 stitches plus 1 to achieve your desired snood width. For example, you might chain 161 for a reasonably wide snood.
2. Row 1:
- Double crochet in the 4th chain from the hook.
- Chain 1, skip 1 chain, double crochet in the next chain.
- Repeat * to * across the row until you have one chain left.
- Double crochet in the last chain.
3. Row 2:
- Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), turn.
- Skip the next double crochet, double crochet in the chain-1 space from the previous row, chain 1.
- Repeat * to * across the row, ending with a double crochet in the turning chain-3 from the previous row.
4. Repeat Row 2:
- Continue working Row 2 until your snood reaches the desired length. You can make it as short or as long as you like.
5. Finishing:
- When your snood is the desired length, fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
6. Optional Embellishments:
- To add a touch of elegance, you can sew on beads or pearls sporadically throughout the snood or create a decorative border along the edges.
7. Assembly:
- Fold your crocheted piece in half, lining up the short ends.
- Seam the short ends together using a slip stitch or a whipstitch, creating a loop.
Your wedding-inspired crochet snood is now ready to be worn on your special day or gifted to someone for their wedding. It’s a classic accessory that adds a touch of vintage charm and warmth, making it perfect for cooler wedding seasons. Enjoy crafting this beautiful piece!
