Nogal Snood is a celebration of nature’s beauty and the warmth of autumn. Inspired by the rich tones of falling leaves, this pattern embraces the natural softness of untreated yarn, offering both comfort and coziness. A tribute to the earth’s bounty, the Nogal Snood is a perfect blend of warmth, love for nature, and the timeless charm of handcraft.

This cowl is knit in the round from one edge to the other. Both hems are folded. An i-cord knit a fingering weight yarn is used to tight the upper brim for a snuggle fit.
There are no more than 3 stitches of one color next to each other, so there’s no need to catch floats. The pattern is friendly for beginners in stranded colorwork knitting.
