I recently received the book Learn to Crochet Love to Crochet by Anna Wilkinson – full of fantastic instructions. as well as 20+ patterns! It’s a fab book, and they have graciously allowed me to share one of the patterns here on Moogly – the Snood! The giveaway is over, but you can get the free pattern, and find links to purchase the book below!

The original pattern calls for Orkney wool, but I made mine using Lion Brand Modern Baby, in Red, Chartreuse, and Turquoise! The term “snood” can be a little confusing for some – in this case, it’s a neckwarmer, or small cowl!
And here’s the original photo, and the pattern itself!
