Snood

According to the internet, this is pronounced like "food", not "wood".  However it's said, it's a fun knit and very practical for someone living in a cold climate, say like the windy city! I thought the word "snood" might be a combo word for hood and something else.  But it's actual a word that dates way, way back in the day and simply is a head covering.  Even hairnets were considered snoods.

I found the pattern on ravelry.com. Easy, peasy.  It's called Luxary cowl/hood by Lion Brand Yarn.  I used size 9 needles and will definitely block to soften it up.
