Crochet Snood (Hair Net)
Since I rarely leave the house nowadays I’m letting my naturally wavy hair air-dry. It’s almost to the middle of my back which means that it takes a while to dry. While this isn’t a huge deal, I’d like for it to be up and off of my neck while it does so, and this snood is the perfect solution!
For this crocheted hair net we are using Curio #3 crochet thread. I had originally wanted to use a cotton yarn – like my favorite cotton, Dishie – but I worried that the 100% cotton would suck too much moisture out of the hair. Keep this in mind if you are worried about your own hair’s moisture as well. Of course, if you’re not using this while your hair is drying, but rather to keep your already dry hair off of your neck/back, then it won’t really matter which you use.
Materials:
Curio #3 Crochet Thread
-approx. 87 yards
Crochet hook in size H/5mm
Crochet hook in size G/4mm
Elastic cord (like this)
Needle and thread
Pattern Notes:
Pattern written in US terms.
The chain at the beginning of the round does count as a stitch.
Tr = Treble Crochet (tutorial here)

Before you start, go ahead and prepare your elastic. Cut to 17″ in length for “adult” size. Overlap the ends slightly and sew to form a circle using the needle and thread.
