Lilly Pad Snood Project Log Day 1 and 2

Day One. Started working on this snood. I picked the yarn on a wim, and choose my Rosewood hook because it has a smaller sized head even though it’s supposed to be the same size as my metal hook. (They’re both listed as size I or 5.50) Finished the first few rows and started on the sixth. I have plenty of time to dedicate to this project this week because I’m working the shop by myself. Phylliss is sick and the men are at Brother Technical School.

The thread I'm using for this project.

Part way through Day 1

Day Two. Started the day by finishing row Six. Then I stopped and counted the loops. Only 23! After counting twice more, I recounted the loops on row below. Row 5 was also missing a loop, but row 4 was correct. So I tore out all of Row 6, and the last loop of Row 5. Found my mistake pretty quickly. I for got to do the last loop that you slip stitch into place at the base of loop 1. It’s another long day at the shop by myself, so I have lots of time to work on this today.



Notes: Notes
I picked up the yarn(it’s more like thread) at a grocery store in Ukraine. I originally bought it to make bracelets with, but I thought I would try it with this pattern.
I’m copying the pattern there so because the original site closed down and I don’t want to loose it in case the archive gets deleted somehow.
Snood:
Yarns and hooks: Almost any kind of yarn or crochet thread will work for this pattern. For a finer texture, use crochet cotton, knit-cro-sheen, or pearl cotton, with a “3” or “B” size crochet hook. Heavier yarns (wool, acrylic, and blends) yield a lovely, rough texture. Use a “G” sized hook with
heavier yarns.
Finished size: Approximately 17” in diameter. Comes to about the nape of the neck when worn; for a longer snood, repeat Row 15 until desired diameter is achieved.

Round 2: Ch 4, [DC into center of ring, Ch 1] 11 times, slip-stitch into third
ch of Ch 4 strand to join.
Round 3: Ch 5, DC into first Ch 1 space, Ch 2, DC into next Ch 1 space, Ch 2,
DC into same Ch 1 space, repeat from * around circle, Ch 1, slip-stitch into
third ch of beginning Ch 5 strand to join (24 posts around circle).
Round 4: Slip-stitch into center of first Ch 2 space, Ch 5, SC into center of
next Ch 2 space, repeat from * around circle, Ch 5, slip-stitch into base of

slip-stitch into base of first Ch 6 space to join, making 24 loops around circle.
Round 6: Slip-stitch to center of first Ch 6 loop, Ch 7, SC into center of
next loop, repeat from * around circle, Ch 7, slip-stitch into base of first
loop to join (24 loops around).
Round 7-9: Repeat as for round 6, increasing loops by one ch each round (Round
7 will have Ch 8 loops; Round 8 will have Ch 9 loops; Round 9 will have Ch 10
loops).
Round 10: Slip-stitch into first 3 ch of Ch 10 loop, Ch 5, SC into same Ch 10

Round 11: Slip-stitch to center of first Ch 5 loop, Ch 6, SC into center of
next Ch 5 loop, Repeat from * around circle, Ch 6, slip-stitch into base of
first Ch 6 loop.
Round 12: Repeat as for Round 6.
Round 13-15: Repeat as for Rounds 7-9 (Round 13 will have Ch 8 loops, Round 14

Round 17: To make bars for drawstring: Ch 4, DC into Ch 5
strand, Ch 1 3 times, repeat from * in each Ch 5 space around circle, Ch 1,

through. Weave end in.
Drawstring: Use a braided length of the same yarn, or ribbon, or elastic, long enough
to fit around head plus 12”. Weave drawstring through posts of final round of
crocheting. Fit to head size. Sew ends of elastic together or if using drawstring,
tie in a bow.
