Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky yarn (weight 6)
• Crochet Hook: Size N/P-15 (10 mm)
• Gauge: 6 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. Chain 2 to begin.
2. First Round: Work 12 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Make sure to crochet tightly so the ring doesn’t leave a gap.
3. Tighten the Ring: Pull the tail of the yarn to close the magic ring. Join the round by making a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the first double crochet.
4. Prepare for the Next Round: Chain 2 to start the next round. This counts as your first double crochet.
5. Second Round: In this round, work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. You should have a total of 24 double crochets at the end of this round.
6. Third Round: Chain 2, then *dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. You will have 36 double crochets at the end of this round.
7. Continue Rounds: Keep working in rounds until your snood measures approximately 12 inches in height. Remember to check your measurements as you go!
8. Create the Braided Texture: For the next 4 rounds, work a front post double crochet (fpdc) around every other stitch. This will give your snood its beautiful braided texture.
9. Finish the Top Edge: Complete the snood with a round of slip stitches to secure the top edge. This will give it a neat finish.
10. Final Touches: Weave in all ends using a yarn needle. If necessary, block your snood to help it maintain its shape and enhance the texture.

Now you have your very own Cozy Crochet Snood with a stunning braided texture! Enjoy wearing it or gifting it to a loved one. Happy crocheting!
