Pattern: Sag Snood/ Cowl
As promised, here is the pattern for the Sag(ittarius) Snood/ Cowl! I made the snood version for Chris’ birthday, which just so happens to be tomorrow! It’s super bulky and super warm, just in time for winter. I love the texture of double seed stitch, especially in a bulky yarn like Brown Sheep Burly Spun. Whether you make the snood or cowl version, you’ll be able to tuck right in once the snow starts falling.
Finished Measurements
Cowl: 32 inch (81 cm) circumference and 8 inches (20 cm) high (fully extended)
Snood: 32 inch (81 cm) circumference and 23 inches (58 cm) high (fully extended)

Round 2: same as round 1

Brave the weather!

Thank you for sharing this quick & easy pattern.
I’ve been wanting to knit it for some time (like the second I saw it) & it’s now complete. I made mine out of Rowan Colourscape & I’m totally in love with it.

So does the name change to the Ophiuchus Snood now?

I like the sound of that! More astrologically accurate perhaps…
