Simple Snood

A Snood... plus making your own bulky weight yarn!

I made this with an Alpaca/Wool blend that I picked up at the craft store... It was a super quick project, and it doesn't require a pattern.  Just go with the flow I say!  For this one, I cast on a solid 28 - 32 stitches on my 19mm straight needles (MASSIVE NEEDLES), using 2 strands of chunky weight yarn held together. I just knit back and forth in garter stitch until I ran close to being out of yarn, then bound off and seamed together (without a twist of course.  A twist would make it an infinity cowl, not a snood!!).  It's fun to just forget the pattern sometimes, and just knit.  If you want to make a bulky weight project (like this one) but only have worsted weight yarn, just hold multiple strands of yarn together! Bulky weight yarn tends to be pretty expensive. Worsted weight yarn is not only cheaper, but there are often discounts for buying multiple balls of the same kind, and you get way more yardage per ball!
