The surprise fashion hit of the winter, the snood harks back to the 80s when new romantics rocked dashingly up the charts. But don’t let that put you off!

In soft and snuggly wool, there’s nothing more comfy and flattering than a snood. Drape it round your neck for extra warmth and if the temperature really drops, pull it over your head to stay warm.

For the full 80s effect you’d have to make it in day-glo pink, but we suggest sticking with Patons new Trentino yarn and its contemporary range of shades. Try our free knitting pattern now.
