Vintage-Inspired Snood

Crochet Snood Pattern by Littlejohn’s Yarn

They don’t make them like they used to. I am always inspired by vintage crochet patterns. That classic look seems to never go out of style. We will be creating one of my favorites for this pattern, the vintage crochet snood. I took inspiration from 1940s & 50s for that Rockabilly style.

There is nothing new about the snood, it has been used throughout history for more than 1,000 years. Women have been using this simple hair covering or net that gets those pesky hairs out of the way, with style. From the Renaissance to the unmarried maidens in the 19th century until today, snoods are the original classic. Think of the crochet snood as the little black dress for your hair.

This vintage-inspired crochet snood uses simple stitches and works up quickly. For this pattern, we will be using Paintbox Yarns Simply DK yarn and a 3.75 mm crochet hook. Please don’t feel “married” to my hook and yarn choices. This pattern would also work great with worsted weight or aran weight yarn.
