Rapunzel's Elegant Snood

Model made by Designer and modeled by Designer's daughter. (8/97)

Snood may be worn loosely or around a ponytail. Fasten to hair with a pretty bow in a matching or contrasting color.

Pattern Edited and Tested by Rae French.

NOTE: This pattern includes sufficient materials for small, medium, or large snood. Size variations are provided in the instructions.

Use a thread that drapes well. Our editor used DMC Baroque. You could probably use pearl cotton or knit-cro-sheen too. Southmaid cotton is too stiff.

MATERIALS:

• Size #9 steel crochet hook
• Size #10 cotton crochet thread --1/2 of one skein of DMC Baroque was plenty for the large snood (200 yds)
• Elastic cord, about 10 inches of 1/4"
