Notes

It is a very easy and straightforward project.
However, after joining the edges to form the tube as suggested in instructions, I struggled to drape the snood beautifully.
So I ripped the seam off but this time I had twisted the scarf twice so it formed kind of an 8-shape. I added my drawing for clearness :)
This trick helped me to avoid unessesary bulkiness that is inevitable with the simple tube form.
After that I still was not satisfied enough with the thickness of the actual seam and decided to unravel the cast-on and cast-of ( the fist one and the last one ) rows and join the edges again by sewing through the open loops. This type of the seam imitates the knitted row and absolutely discreet.
Done!
The knitting of leaves is fun and it is really difficult to stop to produce more of them ;)
Only today I have noticed that I forgot to embroider the leaf veins. Hopefully I will work them soon and add pictures.
P.S. The pictures of leaves were added. Indeed they look more alive with the veins!
