What is snood and how to wear it. How to knit a scarf collar with knitting needles How to wear a men's scarf collar

A snood scarf is a closed scarf or a ring scarf. In the fashion world, it is also called a "collar", "pipe" or "loop scarf". It is not only convenient and multifunctional, but also an incredibly stylish accessory. It appeared in the wardrobe of men in the 80s as an element of the image of a creative person: an artist, a writer, a poet.

Depending on the chosen model, the scarf can be easily combined with classic clothes, business suits, formal coats with a stand-up collar, jackets and pullovers. It can also be combined with sportswear, sweaters, parkas, down jackets. In the warm season, you can wear it with T-shirts, denim and leather jackets.

How to wear

There are several types of snoods: universal short models and voluminous ones, more than one and a half meters long. It is interesting to experiment with long models, draping them, creating loops of different lengths.

Here are some easy ways to wear a scarf:

· Short classic models are worn around the neck like a bib.

· If the length allows, you can wrap around the neck, leaving a few loops of different lengths at the bottom.

· Put a scarf around your neck, wrapping it in a figure-of-eight in two turns so that you get a decorative loop in front. If you do not like the weave of loops in front, then the "eight" can be done from behind and thread the loop in front. Thus, in front of you there will be only a canvas that can be draped and laid as you like.

· A short scarf can also be worn with a “figure of eight” and used as a “buff”. This option is suitable for active sports. The canvas of the snood can be pulled up to the very eyes, completely covering the face and protecting it from frost and wind. Great option for skiing or snowboarding.

· Twist a double or triple figure eight and put one of the loops on your head like a bonnet. This option is also for athletes, because it fits the head very tightly, protecting the ears and the back of the head from snow and gusts of wind. With active movement, it does not slip off the head, it does not need to be constantly corrected.

What can you wear snood with

1. With a classic coat

A snood scarf looks good with drape, cashmere and tweed classic coats, creating an image of a self-confident, successful man. The main thing is to choose the right color scheme for the collar. For example, a coat in terracotta or beige tones can be complemented with a gray, dark blue or brown snood.

Bright shades are combined with black and gray coats: berry, sand, brick, maroon or any other that matches the color of the eyes and hair.

2. With jackets and cardigans

Experiment with texture, colors, patterns. Stylists suggest combining light fabric clamps with leather jackets, and snoods of loose knitting with autumn and winter parks.

Absolutely any trumpet scarf goes with a blue denim jacket for a daring, rowdy look. There are no restrictions here, you can wear scarves with prints, patterns, large braids.

3. Office style

Men's snood can be worn with a plain turtleneck and jeans. Oversized scarves in pastel shades go well with a three-piece suit. With a jacket, it is recommended to wear a plain snood, the kitten of which should match the shade of the trousers.

Men's snood with a hood. The stereotype that only young ladies can wear snood has been broken.

First, what is snood. Snood is a knitted product that serves as a scarf and a headdress, two things in one product. It is especially widespread among the younger generation, as it replaces hats. If you fold the snood over your shoulders, a cape can still come out on your shoulders.

Snood is very convenient to use - when necessary, it quickly transforms from a headdress into a scarf that lies tightly around the neck and vice versa. Indoors, you do not have to constantly take off and put on a hat, look for a place in your pocket for it. Moms and wives will breathe a sigh of relief by tying such a gift to their dear men for the holiday of February 23 or birthday. The problem of lost hats will disappear immediately, as is often the case.

Snood, which will be described below, is connected with interesting harnesses and arans. This type of snood and knitting is suitable for any sweater or jumper in style.

So let's get started.
To cast on, you will need size 4 needles and your chosen yarn to match your man's sweater. 155 loops should be cast on the knitting needles (this is a calculation for an adult man). Then you should alternate the indicated pattern No. 1 and No. 2 patterns. This means that an edge loop is knitted, which is indicated by the letter K in the diagram, then two purl loops, knit a tourniquet pattern from 12 loops. Then a rhombus pattern is knitted from 18 loops and again the tourniquet is made from 12 loops. And now the turn has come to the aran pattern, which consists of 21 loops, and then knit the tourniquet again, in which the last loop will become the middle, in the diagram which is marked with a red arrow for clarity. Now you need to continue the same row, but already in its mirror image.
And already from the second row, 58 rows should be knitted from the beginning, which of them should be once 1-26 rows, 1 time 5-28 rows, 1 time 5-10 rows.
And then from the 11th row, that is, the 59th row, you need to start closing the loops as indicated in the diagram and indicated by the red line.
For the correct rounding of the snood on the head, you need to use short knitting in rows, for example, in the heel of the sock, loops are reduced for a round shape. Thus, the front loop must be knitted with each loop that is in the side part. In the diagram, this is shown by black dots in the form of loops.
Thus, in every second row, starting from the 99th row, the beginning of the decrease is performed. But already from the 123rd row, the reduction must be performed in each row, without exception. And until all the side loops are closed.

Snood knitting patterns.

To knit an elastic band for snood, you need to pick up yarn on knitting needles No. 3 and knit a regular elastic band. It should be an order of magnitude denser from the top of the entire product and for better protection of the throat and a good fit of knitting on the head. For the best result, the elastic should be knitted double, that is, knit 13 loops with an elastic band 2x2 in the usual version, and for better bending, knit one row with purl loops and again make 13 loops with an elastic band. The drawing below shows all the details of the future snood, it is divided into several parts, which will then be folded into a single product.

Clasp for snood.
So the moment has come for knitting the strap for fasteners. This type of detail can be knitted with a regular fabric, but crocheting with columns will look more practical and beautiful. Due to the density of such knitting, the strap and loops will not stretch and lose their shape. So the view will be much neater and more beautiful.
That's all, snood for a man is connected. And now the stereotype that only young ladies can wear snood has been broken. For the strong half of the planet, they will also serve as a warm headdress and a scarf that will not fly off from a light breeze. A little time was spent on it, but it will bring great benefits. Do not be afraid to experiment and please your dear men.

Back in the 19th century, women understood that a scarf is not only an element of clothing that can protect against the cold, but also a good accessory that complements the image. But the strong half of humanity used this accessory in a slightly different way. From the time in China to the sailors, they all wore a scarf or headscarf. Some for the purpose of distinguishing from another class, others - as protection from the weather. The scarf has long ceased to be an exclusively female accessory. That is why every modern man needs to know how to properly wear a men's scarf.

Why does a man need to wear a scarf?

Practical and stylish young people take out scarves from the shelves with the onset of cold weather. And not in vain! Warm, knitted, cashmere or wool... The main thing is to look your best and keep warm.

Types of scarves

Bandana, arafatka, scarf, round scarf, thin, long - this is not the whole list of types that belong to the category of men's scarf. How to wear such things? Everything is very simple.

The choice of materials from which scarves are made is also extensive. As a rule, wool, cashmere, angora, cotton, linen and silk are used. Often designers turn their attention to synthetic materials (fleece). The material and weaving of a knitted scarf "dictates" the knot on which you can tie an accessory.

Female or male: how to determine?

Women's scarf or men's? How to wear? The questions are really relevant, because today more and more often there are things of the "unisex" category. There are unspoken rules that will help determine the "gender" of the scarf:

If a scarf or shawl must be worn with a button or pin, then we can definitely say that the scarf is for women.
Thin yarn, or mega-light - all these are signs of a women's scarf.
Shawl/scarf made of very thick woolen thread with a large knit, which is huge in size, also applies to a scarf for women.

You can knit the collar in 2 ways: immediately on circular knitting needles or on ordinary ones, simply by sewing together the edges of the scarf at the end of the work to make a ring.

As for color, then you can think freely. Standard "male" colors (black, gray, brown, blue, etc.) are no longer so relevant. Men are increasingly happy to wear scarves in bright colors or with colored splashes against the general background.

Work description

For this collar model, you will need 500 g of natural merino yarn (knit folded in half), thick knitting needles No. 10 + an auxiliary pin or knitting needle for the convenience of knitting “braids”. \

As a result, the height of the scarf will be approximately 48 cm, in a circle - about 90 cm. Next, knit step by step:

In the usual way, dial 114 loops on the knitting needles;
Knit the pattern "braids" according to the description below, until you reach 46 cm in height;
Knit the last 3 rows in purl stitch and cast off.

Despite the seeming complexity of execution, this is a very simple knitting, and even a beginner can easily cope with it.

The rapport of the pattern is 19 loops (this is important for the calculation if you plan to knit a scarf larger or smaller than indicated in this description). Further step by step:

First row: 3 l. n. (facial loops), 3 and. p. (purl), 10 l. p., again 3 and. P.
Knit in this way from the first to the fifth row inclusive.
6th p.: 3 l. p., 3 i. p., then remove 5 loops forward on an additional knitting needle or pin, knit the next 5 persons. Loops, then in the same way (facial) perform the removed loops and, finally, 3 sp. Knit like this until the end of the row.
From the 7th to the 11th p. knit in the same way as from 1st to 5th.
12th p. perform as 6th.

From the wrong side of the product, all loops are knitted according to the pattern.

Repeat knitting, alternately following steps 1-5. On average, for a scarf collar 48 cm high, 6 such repetitions will be needed.

Finish knitting with 3 rows of wrong side. Scarf collar with chic "braids" is ready.

English scarf band

English rib itself is beautiful, elegant and elastic (the product does not stretch for a long time and does not lose shape), it looks neat on knitted things, and you can perform it different ways, and any of them are pretty simple.

You can knit a scarf with English rib from solid yarn or use a cheerful melange thread with multi-colored splashes - in any case, it will look amazing.

For a collar, you can take the dimensions from the previous description or calculate the loops yourself (the number of loops must be odd). English rib is knitted in several ways, 2 are offered here to choose from.

Method 1

When knitting, you need to remember that the first and last loops in each row are hem, and they are not included in the total number of loops for the pattern. Moreover, at the beginning of the row, the hem is simply removed on the right knitting needle without knitting, and at the end of the row it is knitted as a purl.

First row: the usual alternation of l. p. and i. n. until the end of the row.
Second row: Throw the edge loop on the right knitting needle. One l. from the previous row, knit as usual front. Remove the purl from the previous row (without knitting) with a crochet. Continue this row to the end. Purl the last (edge) loop.
Third row: do the same with the edge loop (as usual, without knitting). That next loop, which was facial in the previous row, must be removed with a crochet, and the one that was knitted with a crochet should be knitted together with one l. etc., and so on to the end of the row.
Further, the entire fabric of the product is knitted according to the scheme of the third row.

Method 2

This method is simpler than the previous one. Here is its schematic description:

1st row: regular elastic band 1X1.
2nd row: remove the last (edge) loop. Remove the front from the previous row together with the crochet, without knitting. Knit each purl according to the pattern (i.e. purl). Do the same until the end of the row.

English ribbing can be used not only for knitting the entire fabric, but also for framing the pattern from below and above (i.e., start knitting with an elastic band, go to the pattern and finish with an elastic band again).
