In my crazed sickness the last few weeks I did have moments of complete boredom (good grief there's crap on TV during the day - thank goodness for my DVR). I was looking for some cute snoods to make and came across the lovely website Annalaia.com, where I found this beautiful snood pattern, available as a PDF file. I purchased it in the evening and I received an e-mail from the very pleasant Anna, with the pattern attached, the next morning.
In a few days I was busy hooking up this project in Ecru/Gold metallic Knit-Cro-Sheen crochet thread (I used just about all of three balls) and a size E hook. I did make minor mods by leaving off the beads and I crocheted two cords to tie it to the top of my head instead of one. The pattern was straightforward and very easy to read and understand. I think even a beginner with a few projects under their belt could make this.
I haven't worn it yet and I'm not sure how will it will work with my hair, but it definitely will require that I put my hair in an invisible hairnet first to keep it under control within the snood (a great tip if you have lots of layers or are using a hairpiece to fill out your snood). Once I feel (and look) more human, then I'll give it a whirl and model it for you all.

Swell snood! You're quite a hooker - hehehe. So many great vintage snood patterns out there - if only I had time to make them all ;)
And here's an odd coincidence - a couple weeks ago, I came across some ecru/gold metallic Knit-Cro-Sheen in my yarn stash and was planning to crochet a snood with it! :O
Mr V's mum is crocheting a snood for me, i can't wait until it's finished and i can wear it! x
It turned out beautiful! I recently started knitting and am now ready to move on to crochet and was thinking a snood would be fun to try. Yours is lovely! I can't wait to see photos of it on you. Hope you feel better soon :)

Your snood is lovely. I envy your skill with the hook, it's something I've never done.
