A snood completes Victorian costume, making it seem like you have more hair than you do.
Hairstyles can be the most difficult part of historical costumes to get authentic. Even if your hair is not long enough to make a convincing and elaborate bun, wearing a snood over the back of your hair can give the illusion of much more hair. A snood has the same basic shape as a beret, set back on the head, and drawn up around the head using a wide ribbon. Crochet an openwork snood from narrow ribbon, for an impressively authentic look.
Instructions
1. Chain 6. Join with slip stitch to form a ring. Chain 1.
2. Work two single crochet (sc) in each chain around. Join last sc to beginning stitch. Chain 2.
3. Work 6 double crochet in next sc, making a shell stitch. Double crochet in next 2 stitches. Repeat these two sets around and join. Chain 4.
4. Single crochet in top of next shell stitch. Chain 4, double crochet in space between two double crochets, then chain 4. Repeat these two sets around and join. Chain 2.
5. Repeat the patterns of rounds 3 and 4, spacing shell stitches out farther and farther and making a loop of four chain stitches across a notch between loops and landing it to the next loop, using a single crochet. Continue until you have a disk 9 inches or so across.
6. Continue with loops only for another 3 inches, and tie off the end. Thread the grosgrain through the loops made in the last two rounds. Tuck your hair into the snood and draw up the grosgrain around your ears to tie it in a bow at the top of your head.
