Retro Flashback: Snood Tutorial

For Halloween this year, I didn't want to spend any money on my costume, and decided to go as a 1950's housewife/pin up girl. I did a pin up photoshoot for my husband last year for our anniversary, so I have the hair and make-up know how, and the wardrobe (for the most part). The only thing I was really missing was a Snood. Lucky for me, they're pretty easy to make! I used This Tutorial, but found it a little difficult to follow, so I adapted it into wording that worked better for me. I also did mine a bit smaller than the other tutorial, because it seemed like it would be too long for the amount of hair that I have.
-----------------------------------------------------
Supplies:
Small amount of yarn (probably about 2 oz)
D Crochet hook
Thin elastic headband
1 yd. Gosgrain Ribbon for bow (optional)

Stitches used:
TC=Treble Crochet
SC=Single Crochet
Sl St=Slip Stitch

Round 1: Chain 53

Round 2: TC in 12th chain from hook. *ch 4 sts, skip 4 sts, TC in next st*. Repeat from * to end of chain, TC in last st. Turn

Round 3:  Ch 9. TC in 1st TC of last row that you come to. *Ch 4, TC in TC of last row.*. Repeat from * until you have TC'd in last TC of previous row. Ch 4, TC in 5th st of turning chain, ch 4, TC in same st as last TC. Turn.

Rounds 4-8: Repeat Round 3.

Round 9: Ch 9. TC in 1st TC of last row. *Ch 4, TC in next TC*. Repeat from * until you have TC'd in last TC of previous row. Ch 4, TC in 5th st of turning chain. Turn.

Rounds 10-16: Repeat Round 9

Round 17: Ch 5. TC in 1st TC of last row. *Ch 4, TC in next TC*. Repeat from * until there is 1 TC left in previous row. Ch 4, YO 3 times. Hook into next TC in previous row. YO, pull through (5 loops on hook). YO, pull through 2 loops on hook 3 times (leaves 2 loops on hook). YO 3 times, hook into 5th st of turning chain, pull through (6 loops on hook). YO, pull through 2 loops 3 times (leaves 3 loops on hook). YO, Pull through all 3 loops (This is a TC dec for the purposes of this tutorial). Turn.

Rounds 18-20: Ch 5. TC in 1st TC of last row. *Ch 4, TC in next TC*. Repeat from * until there are  2 TC's left in previous row. TC dec between those two TC's.

Finishing: SC around the headband, working 2 SC's into each "mesh" space you created. (aka 2 SC's between each set of TC's around).

You can sew on the bow at what will be the top of your snood if you want.

Enjoy!
