The Snu-d

A snood for a very fashion-forward, very good friend of mine called Su (geddit? Snu-d?).  Not a terribly fashion-forward neckwarmer, admittedly, but one neckwarmer, many ways...


Anyway, without further ado...:

The Snu-d

Materials:

2 x 100g (c. 48m) balls Cygnet Seriously Chunky 
it's knitted on a gorgeous pair of needles I had as a present, which don't actually have a size on them, but I'd hazard a guess that they were around 10mm.
4 enormous 'clown' buttons

Method:

co 30 sts

row 1: k2, [p2, k4] x4, p2, k2

row 2: p2, [k2, p4] x4, k2, p2

row 3: k2, [p2, c4b] x4, k2, p2

row 4: p2, [k2, p4] x4, k2, p2

row 5: k2, [p2, k4] x4, p2, k2

row 6: p2, [k2, p4] x4, k2, p2

rows 3 - 6 form pattern.

work in pattern for almost 2 balls of wool

when desired length reached (I completed 13 cable twists, hence 54 rows total), complete as follows:

row 55: k2, [p2, k2, yo x3, k2] x4, p2, k2

row 56: p3, [k2, p2, p3 into back of stitch, p2, k2] x4, k2, p2

row 57: cast off in pattern

stitch buttons onto the opposite ends of the cables from the button holes, and weave in ends to complete.
