Snoods in Hayfield Super Chunky - 7243

What Is Being Made

This downloadable PDF pattern provides instructions for creating four distinct snood designs using Hayfield Super Chunky yarn. Snoods are versatile cowl-style neckwear that can be worn as a loop around the neck or styled in multiple ways. All designs are sized for adult one size and feature varying lengths and widths to suit different styling preferences and stitch techniques.

• 2 Colour Snood: A two-tone design measuring 20 cm (8 inches) wide and approximately 142 cm (56 inches) in length, created using contrasting shades of Hayfield Super Chunky
• Moss Stitch Snood: A textured design measuring 20 cm (8 inches) wide and approximately 124 cm (48¾ inches) in length, featuring a classic moss stitch pattern

• Bramble Stitch Snood: A dimensional design measuring 23 cm (9 inches) wide and approximately 85 cm (33½ inches) in length, showcasing the textured bramble stitch technique

Stitches and Techniques Used

This pattern employs several fundamental and intermediate knitting stitches to create visual interest and texture. The moss stitch creates a bumpy, woven appearance through alternating knit and purl stitches. The bramble stitch produces a highly dimensional, bobbled fabric that adds substantial texture and depth. The eyelet stitch incorporates yarn overs and decreases to create decorative holes, allowing for a more open, breathable fabric. The 2 colour snood demonstrates colour work techniques using two contrasting yarn shades to build visual pattern and interest.

Materials Required

Each snood design uses Hayfield Super Chunky yarn, a chunky weight yarn that knits quickly and creates bold, defined stitches:

• 2 Colour Snood: Hayfield Super Chunky shade A 770 (1 × 100g ball) and shade B 052 (1 × 100g ball)
• Moss Stitch Snood: Hayfield Super Chunky shade 701 (2 × 100g balls)
• Eyelet Snood: Hayfield Super Chunky shade 054 (1 × 100g ball)
• Bramble Stitch Snood: Hayfield Super Chunky shade 057 (2 × 100g balls)
• Needles: 1 pair of 12mm (USA size 17) knitting needles

The super chunky weight yarn creates quick, satisfying progress and produces a warm, substantial fabric ideal for neckwear. Yarn quantities are based on average requirements when specified tension and yarn type are used as directed in the pattern.
