Recently my daughter’s room got a makeover. A fresh coat of paint, new bedding, window treatments and a few new decor items. The rugged denim paired with the softer lace matches her personality to a tee. She prefers to wear jeans and boots whenever possible, but still has a soft feminine side.
The first major project for her room was this rag quilt. 
In April, I showed you the Snood I made for my niece. (See the post here).
While visiting her this summer, she requested I make her another one.
I used the same Snowflake Pattern, but this time I made the small snood. I believe it fits much better. I used Caron Simply Soft Party yarn in Purple Sparkle from my stash.
She loves it and wears it to ice skating lessons.
UPDATE: It has come to my attention that the link to the Snowflake Snood Pattern by Lucia R. Hicks is no longer available.
Well spring break is over, so back to the blog world. The other day, my sister emailed me a picture of this white circle thing she had bought, but it was too small, asking could I knit one for her. My first question is “What is it?”
Long story short, my niece needs a bun cover to wear ice-skating. My sister had purchased one from Target, but it was too small. While looking for a knitting pattern I learned that the technical name for a bun cover is a snood. Webster defines it as “a net or fabric bag pinned or tied on at the back of a woman’s head for holding the hair”.
I found a free pattern for a snowflake snood here. My niece thought it was a flower pattern. But whatever you call it, it worked great and she loved it.
I used “Jamie” yarn by Lion Brand Yarns in Angel White. I used less than 35 yards of yarn to knit a medium size snood.
