This Schnood is so cosy - you can wear it under a coat or v neck sweater to keep your neck warm or just pull the cowl over your head and keep your ears warm with the hood.

It is such a quick and easy pattern to make, but makes a great stylish gift and a great alternative to a scarf - no more flapping ends to worry about!!

If you buy 3x 100g balls of yarn you will have plenty to complete the schnood as well as the fringing and the plait - you will even have enough to do a couple of pom-poms for the end of the plait if you so desire!
