A snood is a hair thing from the 1920's...should have picked a different name! And if you are by the fire, why would you need something to wear that will make you even hotter?????

This is a cowl! Not a snood a snood only contains hair and does not go around the neck!! Would love a real snood pattern.

Where is the pattern. I saved it and have to see if it did save. It says easy so I should not have a problem. I always need patterns like for the winters here in NY.

These are instructions for a cowl, at best. I want the instructions for the sweater with a big shawl collar that we see in the picture!

Exactly HOW is this a snood??? A snood is a specific type of hair covering. Then they describe it as a cowl. Not the same thing. If the rest of the pattern makes this much sense, then forget it.

what does semantics have to do with knitting? At a guess this is described as a snood because in time of need or cold, it can be pulled up to cover hair and head for warmth - my second question is why be rude? This project is attractive with a number of options as to how it can be worn - call it what you will. As for joining the yarn together before knitting - takes too much time for me --

I don't agree with the instructions to roll the two balls together before hand, I've been knitting for 50 years and was taught as a young child NOT to do this. The yarns never match up and you wind up with one really long end and uneven knit pattern, particularly so with these yarns one of the yarns is over 100 yards longer than the other, I will make this but I will pull from the two balls separately.

I agree with you... I usually pull yarns from each ball as I knit, but why only two stars? -)

I am considering making this but wondering why you gave it 2 stars? Do you like the end result?

I do like the end result, but the misnomer in the name and the instructions to wind the two balls before hand are errors in the pattern to me, so I rated it based on those two criteria.
