Vintage Style for Lazy Hair Days | Crocheting a Snood

[@ravensnow2931]

This snood pattern has been in my queue for a little bit! I'm hoping to use your tips to make my experience less frustrating. I'm going to use lace-weight silk yarn for mine.

[@stitchnfiction]

Lace-weight silk would be beautiful in this pattern! 😍 I hope others can learn from my mistakes, haha.

[@lilaboss6894]

Lovely! You did a wonderful job.

[@laurieannpetker-huffman6481]

Lol, I love your videos and thank you for making me feel like I’m not the only professional frogger! In all seriousness though I do often frog a couple times until I find that perfection… thank you for sharing and encouraging entertainment

[@stitchnfiction]

Thanks for watching! I'm so glad you enjoy them ☺️

Came out beautifully and looks awesome. Love your soundtrack and facial expressions lol!

Thanks so much! 😊

[@duarteshelia]

I enjoyed watching you have to frog several times lol I have been there and done that more than once. In the end it turned out rather nice!!! Hope you continue making vintage patterns.

[@stitchnfiction]

Thank you! I definitely plan to make more, I'm having fun. 😊

This isn’t a step by step tutorial on how to make the snood…is more vanity and self adoration channel!!

The pattern is linked in the description, sweetheart!

@@floral2743 - I didn’t asked for the pattern “sweetheart” I said that this isn’t a step by step tutorial!! I like your condescending sweetheart remark! You definitely need reading comprehension classes.

@@bootsie280 bless you, honey. The title of the video never mentioned tutorial! Nor a step by step. Don't get to stressed, now, you'll get wrinkles :)

It’s pretty stay cool u to 🌨️

[@SusieQ3]

That's so cute! Adding this to my queue, for sure. Instead of hair pins, you could try sewing some hair combs to the top sides 🤷🏻‍♀️ just a thought.

[@stitchnfiction]

That's a good idea, thank you!

[@gardenofroses197]

I crochet flowers to put on hair pins for my snood. It's not vintage I guess but it's cute and keeps it on my head!

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

Love, love, love your snood.💖

[@youdeservethis]

My gosh, the times my dog (a Great Dane for the amount of yarn) has been covered in frog yarn cannot be counted. Glad to know other dogs get frogged on :D

[@JM-tz9ej]

❤ The hairnets/snoods are made for curled hair, withour a wetset forwards you need a fine hairnet under it.😅

[@stitchnfiction]

Good to know! I love vintage hairstyles, but my naturally straight hair makes them a lot of work to get right. 😅

[@carriehandy4247]

Just discovered your channel! Enjoying your content, looking forward to more!

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it! 😊

[@eeaotly]

You have expressed my thoughts.

[@brandygonzalez4615]

So beautiful!!! I would have done the same thing in the adjustments to the pattern. You've probably already been told, but yes, always a hairnet first, and absolutely utilize bobby pins to secure the snood to your head as yes, the elastic can/will slip off your head, especially with thin/soft texture hair. You look beautiful and here's to your first snood!😀

[@stitchnfiction]

Thank you so much!☺️

[@catherinemelnyk]

Here's the thing about wearing ANY style that is nearly a century old; you WILL get stared at. Hopefully it's a pleasing "Where did you get that"? look, NOT a "Good heavens, is that ever ugly!" look.❤😂

[@stitchnfiction]

That's always the hope! 😅

[@kellyelizabethwelch8212]

My should wait yarn five millimeter crochet hook my TV was on and it came out perfect never did the project before never tried to be forever sickness of the yarn wasn't too sick and it wasn't too thin although my pattern that I used as a 1960 S

[@kellybryson7754]

It is very pretty.

[@FarmhouseWorthy]

No mistakes you don’t learn anything. Very pretty.

[@fashionedframebyframe]

My lazy day hair style is just cutting all my hair off...lol But seriously, this is a cool project and if I still had long hair I would be tempted to try this. How easy do you think it would be to incorporate beads for a renfair version?

[@stitchnfiction]

You could crochet beads into this, but honestly I think it would be easier to just tack them on with needle and thread (or glue) after the fact. I have not tried crocheting with beads myself yet, but I know it requires pre-stringing all the beads before you start stitching, and aside from the hassle of preparation your bead choices would be limited by the size of the yarn or thread you were using.

[@ourcreativebeehive]

I'm a little late, but my Baba wore all different types of head coverings. After my Zeda died, she wore a lot of snoods. She made hers with sequins. I know you can get yarn with them attached. Just another idea.

[@Middle-Road.Kim.K]

Hi! This will be a perfect pattern for a skein of Ice silver metallic superfine yarn I bought on impulse. My hook is at the ready, but have a quick question: I see a beautiful spiral has formed - wondering if it's an artifact of your increases. Do you remember where/after how many stitches or rounds you stitched an increase? That three-prong spiral "did it" for me and it'd be a bummer if I just ended up with concentric (or worse, wobbly) rounds. Thank you! 😊

[@stitchnfiction]

That yarn sounds lovely for this project! The spiral was a happy accident. It's been a while since I made this and I was kinda winging it anyway, but here's what I think I did after studying the finished piece: I started increasing on the 3rd row of loop stitches and made an increase every 4th stitch (3 increases total) for that row. Then on the next row I did every 5th st., then every 6th, etc. still keeping to 3 total increases in each row. I think what is creating the spiral is that I always placed my increases directly after the increase from the previous row. So, after you've made your stitch in an increase loop from the previous row, make 2 stitches in the next loop. I hope that's helpful, but happy to try to explain/troubleshoot further if not. 🙂

[@Middle-Road.Kim.K]

@@stitchnfiction Thank you thank you thank you! I'll keep ya posted - excited to get going on this... maybe next summer we can start a new trend and make 'em in every color! 😁

[@catherinemelnyk]

I think I'd use a clear elastic thread along with the cotton yarn for the around the head area...

It is so cute❤️😀

[@jennaguthrie1850]

where did you get those hooks? the pattern said steel crochet hook No. 7 and most steel hooks I find dont have that handle on them. I cant crochet that small it aggravates the fibromyalgia flare ups. So I can only go as small is B/1. so I would LOVE to know where you got those hooks from

[@stitchnfiction]

They're from the Amour Steel Crochet Hook Set by Clover! If you Google "Clover Amour Steel Crochet Hooks" you can find them on several online retailers. I also struggle holding thin hooks, and I love these.

[@belenm852]

Hi there! I know you made this a while ago but I just wanted to know if you had any advice for starting off? I'm having trouble following the written pattern, did you crochet 12 loop stitches and then slip stitch to join? My increases are coming out stacked on top of each other instead of offset and I think the problem is how I'm starting off?

[@stitchnfiction]

Sure! I struggled with this pattern too. I did start with the 12 loop stitches, then made a single crochet at the end to finish off the final loop. Then I chained 3 and made a single crochet in the top of the loop to the left, and began my new row from there. I did this for every row - the chain blends in with the loop and brings your hook to an ideal position to start the next row. I found the offset happened naturally after that since I was starting slightly further to the left each time. I hope I explained that OK, happy to answer other questions if you need any clarification! ❤️

That looks like a take on a Solomon's knot, or am I imagining the resemblance?

[@stitchnfiction]

I see the resemblance as well! This one seems like a much more simplified version - I think Solomon's knot has more steps to it.

[@mariacanales7494]

But you not explain

[@melodied4314]

I like it, but I don't think you're happy with the outcome. If you decide to FROG it, perhaps you could remove the elastic and use it as a doily. I love these vintage videos!!!!!

[@stitchnfiction]

Thank you! If I revisit it I may just undo the last row and replace the elastic with something stronger.
