Broken Herringbone
Broken Herringbone - snood
This cosy snood, worked in two tonally similar shades, is based on a repetitive motif. When knitted, the final visual effect is reminiscent of a herringbone, that’s been broken in regular sections. The snood can be worn long, or wrapped twice around the neck.
