Snood Alert Pattern rsvd 7/28 Accepted for calendar

[Katchkan]

Just finished this yesterday.
My hair is so fine it doesn't hold most bun covers and such. But with Summer upon us I really needed something to get some of my hair off my neck. This is my solution.
Not even sure anyone would be interested in something like this, so I thought I would test the water before I wrote up the pattern.
It is made with Luster sheen and 1 strand of size 50 crochet thread, softened the black. I added garnets for accent, and crocheted roses done in the size 50 thread. I used a 0 size hook.
Heres the pattern

I hate having my picture taken but DH refused to model it for me.

[Layna]

Great Job I really like it:clap

[AngelFairy]

I like it, it looks great. Is it hard to do.?:cheer

[Ghost]

This is great! I love snoods. I'm going to make this one, I think. I hope all my hair fits in it. I have mid back length thick hair.

Ok, just noticed that there isn't a pattern posted yet. :blush Are you going to make one for it?

[Katchkan]

Okay to answer the questions so far. It's easy to make.
And yes I will write up the pattern.
Plan on posting it as my Thankyou to Crochetville for being here and being what it is. A great support group for all lovers of crochet

Oh and if my hair fits in it yours should. Mine reaches down almost to my toche.

[snbunch]

I really like it :D My hair is too short for any accessories tho :(

[bythehook]

That's really beautiful! I barely have enough hair to cover my head, but I'm sure others with long hair will want this pattern.

[diamond]

WOW! That is really awesome! I love it and would love to make one for myself. My hair is thin also and long and I can't stand it when I'm hot and it's down or even in a ponytail. I usually clip it up or make a bun and put a scrunchie around it. Is the headband part of the snood or is it 2 separate pieces?

[Katchkan]

It is all one piece, that is what keeps it from sliding off.
Working on writting the pattern up now, should have it ready to post by tomorrow. Just translating all my notes into a hopefully readable form.

[deneen]

It's beautiful!

[kat]

What a neat idea! Great job!

[dhaunae]

I love that! I cut my tush-length hair to mid-back about a month ago .. just couldn't stand it anymore .. but it grows way fast and even now it's still long enough that I'll get a lot of use out of something like that. Can't wait til you get the pattern posted!

[Holiday]

That's really pretty and I like the way it sits against the nape of the neck. It gives it an extra air of elegance.

[crazzy cow]

Looking forward to seeing the pattern. My daughter Elaine would love that.:) :)

[Sabra]

That's very pretty, & looks more practical than most snoods I've seen online.

[Veronika]

OOOH so pretty!! :) write it write it :)

[crochet mama]

I think it's beautiful.

[yarncat]

That snood is gorgeous!I,too,have long thin hair,and this would be wonderful for me.

[Katchkan]

Okay :D
Here is a link to the pattern, Hope you find it readable, will appreciate any comments on the pattern, as I am not used to writting them stitch by stitch so to speak.

It's beautiful! Thank you!

[Me&P]

Very cool!

I'm looking forward to when my hair is long enough for a snood...

[AidanM]

That's great! Very beautiful.

[MarvieN]

oh, now this is cuuuuuuuuute! I was just thinking about making something for my hair out of thread, then I happened upon this post *g* I love it when things just fall into place! Thanks so much for sharing your pattern!

[diamond]

Thanx for the pattern!!!

[AshEgypt]

That looks cool! :cheer My friend loves to dress up for the Renaissance Festival every year and asked me if I could make her a snood, well I think I just may have found the pattern... :hook

:frog

[dennymare]

Got the pattern, Thank you I've got a couple of girls that will appreciate it this summer.:cheer

[jaclim]

Beautiful snood, Kathy! I love that it's connected to the headband unlike other snood patterns I see online. Thanks for sharing the pattern! I'll add this to my loooooong crochet to-do list. :-D

[Irishkitty]

Beautiful!!!! Can't wait to make one for me....but then my daughter will probably swipe it.

[Woven N Spun]

that is lovely. Now if only I hadn't of cut my LONG hair to it's rather short and sassy look earlier this season :)

[Katchkan]

Thank you for the interest. To be honest I am surprised at the response for my snood. Really thought it wasn't much, just something I made to be comfortable. Glad everyone seems to like it.
Everyone that has gotten the pattern or gets the pattern, Please let me know how I did in writting it out. I am feeling a little insecure about my abilities to write a good pattern. But one never knows if one can do something unless you try, right. Thanks once again.

[ttbookjunkie]

That is cool:clap ! It would be perfect for a knit the classics project.

I love this one. My hair is down to my bottom, so this would be perfect rather than putting it up in a bun all the time. ^_^

I have a few questions: In the pattern you mention thread and Lustre Sheen. Is that ordinary sewing thread? And if so, would it be for making it a little more "stable"? Just curious. ^_^

You did a very good job of writing it out, btw. ^_^

Keep up the good work. ^_^

Nuu ^_^

[Katchkan]

I used the thread with the luster sheen to make the black a little less stark. It gives almost a tweed look to the thread without over whelming it. Just gives it a softer look. I used a number fifty crochet thread I had, But sewing thread should do the same thing. It is just to adds a smidge of color.
I wore mine to the Bead Festival this weekend and got quite a few compliments on it. What was nice was I could bend over and look at the beads and my hair didn't get in my way. It made it very nice. I was rather pleased with the results of my experiment
Glad to hear you like my pattern.

[linderkay]

Your snood is beautiful! :cheer

[Nuuriell]

I have 1 little problem.

Michael's, Wal-Mart, and Joann's doesn't have Luster Sheen. I did find it at Herrschner's, but my husband hates buying things online.

What can I use as a substitute for the Luster Sheen?

Thank-you. ^_^

[Katchkan]

I got my luster sheen at Joann's. But if yours doesn't carry it then ask what sport weight yarn they have. You could probably use perle cotton size 3 also and be very close the the right size.
I am normally a thread person so I am not an expert on yarn sizes.

[swapnae]

...but DH refused to model it for me.

Oh really? I wonder why....:lol:lol:lol

[whitedtu]

Love this will be making it:yay (misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=29#)

[moonrhythm]

oh i love this! over the years placing my hair in a bun has caused a good deal of damage but it's a habit as i hate to put it up in a ponytail! this is a super idea and i wanna make one myself! love it~

[MsSunflwr]

I need something like this for my dreadlocks. I wonder if I would have to make it a little larger.

[Queen_Blondee]

Thanks I too have very long hair, down to my derriere, but mine it think, will it still fit it all...I will have to make one and let you know...BTW I think that's just terrible of your DH, for not modeling it, shame on him...LOL!

[Brandywyne13]

Kathy, I really love this. I think the addition of the headband is truely inspired. Most Snood do not include it and with extremely fine hair it falls off at the drop of a hat.:tup :idea

[Angelhair]

Its lovely! I bet SCA people would especially like to have one of those :)

[Katchkan]

Well for all who have downloaded this pattern, You will want to do it again.
I made a few corrections on the Original and redid the download.
I learned my leasson and no pattern will go out with out being tested.
I have to Thank Nuuriell for pointing out the problem.
Sorry for any inconvience.
Kathy

[kellyv]

That is beautiful!! I would be wonderful for an evening out when you dont know what to do w/your hair.

[mimi_mia]

I love the look of your snood, I have short hair but when mine was long I wore a snood that didn't look anything as good as yours. I may grow my hair just so I can make and wear this!! It's really classy looking :manyheart

[Katchkan]

Hi Everyone, :hook Well on a whim I submitted my snood to the Crochet a day Calendar and it has been Accepted. :yay Makes me feel very proud. I know it is old hat to some of you but for me it is a FIRST I can't describe how I feel. :faint
Thanks for the encouragement.

[kariholtz]

Congrats!!!!!!

You have every right to feel great about it! It's a great pattern

[noonina]

Great job that's awesome!:cheer

[swapnae]

Congratulations! Someone I know is famous! :cheer

[natalie058]

Congratulations! How exciting!

[hookd1989]

Great job...I used to wear those all the time when my hair was also very long. However, when baby was born, I had it chopped off and sent to Locks of Love.

The snood is beautiful and I'd still like the pattern...incase I grow my hair out again.:clap

[jaclim]

Congratulations, Kathy!!!!!:clap :cheer :yay Finally, people will see the kind of work that you do! :D

[Sarah]

It's so pretty! My hair is also way too short :cry but my sister who has waist length hair will just love it! :cheer

[winstongang]

Thats gorgeous!!

[EminsMom]

I love your snood. Your work is so beautiful. I think it will be a challenge for me to make, but I am looking foreward to it. Thanks for sharing with us and congrats on making it to the calendar.

[mimi_mia]

OH, Congratulations, I love your snood :manyheart I'm so happy to hear about all of the wonderful patterns that are making it to the calendar......I'm so looking forward to getting this years and of course next years too :hook

[sewmouse]

Congratulations on being accepted.

[Katrina]

I just love this. I have been looking into snoods recently and never find anything that I really liked until yours. :cheer

[Chrome Kitty]

This looks perfect for me! I've tried a few other snoods, but they're just not comfortable. My hair is past my waist and it tends to pull other snoods off my head. The headband on this one should help. I'm going to work on it today and I'll let you know how it goes.


Thanks!!!!!:hug

[goldi316]

Well, duh - I never saw this thread before, wish I'd seen it sooner! I have very long hair and in the summertime must keep it up if I don't want to sweat to death! This looks like it would be perfect! And since I keep my hair tied back all the time anyway (or it flies into a big frizzball), I can still wear it even if summer is over.

Thanks for sharing your pattern Kathy - and congrats on having it accepted for the calendar! :yay

[Sennight]

Very lovely!!!

[Starr]

I like this snood! I also have fine hair, but I like my hair long and I love wearing things like this, also something like this would work very nicely with my Renaissance Garb!

[tygger428]

I attend a local Renaissance Faire once each fall (it runs about a month between mid Sept to mid Oct (http://www.norcalrenfaire.org) and your pattern would be quite popular there. One booth there, Ye Bag Wench (that is its actual name), sells knit and crochet items, and your snood would be perfect there. Thanks so much for posting the pattern, I have saved it.

[Riohnna]

I love this one! I have long hair, and there are days that I get headaches just from the weight of pontyails or the bun, and this would be great! Thank you soooo much!

[Jellie_08]

I think it is Fantastic and very beautiful . Are they hard to make . I think my daughter would just love one.. have you ever done them in brighter colors? I think they would be very pretty in yellow or white or light pink,green or blue. great for the spring time.

[crochetlady100]

so nice, I have very very thin hair and this would be great

[Anafrance]

just discovered this pattern and love it ; thanks :)

[anoramaxsis]

Thanks it's beautiful

[smokey]

Thank you Katchkan, that is really great! My daughter has really long and very thick hair and I think she would love this. I am going to make her one. She french braids her hair in the summer to get as much of it off her neck as possible. She is a nurse and this would work for her at work too I think. Smokey

[maetta]

Absolutely gorgeous!:clap

[anoramaxsis]

Thanks for the pattern. My daughter-in-law also has fine,long hair.
