Make your own cozy snood
As the temperatures drop, there’s nothing quite like a warm and stylish DIY snood to keep you snug. Now is the ideal time to craft your snood using the exquisite fabrics from Atelier Brunette. For this project, we selected the Cosmic Blue fabric, which is perfect for everyone in the family—parents and kids alike. Embrace the versatility of the snood!
Why choose the DIY snood?
If you don’t often sew but want to create something beautiful, easy, and practical, this tube scarf (also known as a snood) is perfect for you! Beginners can expect this DIY snood to take roughly 20 to 30 minutes, while seasoned sewists can whip it up in about 8 to 10 minutes. Quick and easy—what’s not to love?
Supplies needed:
- Your choice of fabric (Atelier Brunette Cosmic Blue)
- A pair of scissors
- Sewing thread
- Measuring tape
Steps to create your snood
1. Measure and cut a piece of fabric measuring 160cm x 70cm. Fold the fabric in half with the wrong side facing out, resulting in a folded rectangle of 80 cm width and 70 cm height.
2. If your fabric is particularly thick, consider reducing the height, and if it’s quite thin, you can increase it based on how you prefer to wear your snood.
3. Sew the 70 cm side together to form a long tube.
4. Turn the scarf inside out to reveal the right sides and hem the top and bottom by folding them under approximately 2 cm twice. You may optionally press the hem to facilitate more manageable sewing.
5. Once complete, don your new snood and enjoy it! You’re ready to showcase your stylish creation.
