7. Do I need to complete the SarahMo Pippie Snood first?
No. However, the SarahMo Pippie Snood introduces the knit stitch and may be a helpful starting point for new knitters.
8. Is the snood worked in the round?
No. The snood is worked flat and seamed together once knitting is complete. While a snood can also be knitted in the round, that technique is not included in this pattern so you can focus on developing confidence with knit and purl stitches before learning additional techniques.
9. Why are the edges of my knitting curling?
Stocking stitch naturally curls at the edges. The garter stitch border used in this pattern helps reduce curling and provides a neater finished edge.

Blocking - it is recommended after you have knit your snood that you block it before seaming. Blocking in knitting refers to the finishing process used to shape and even out the stitches. Gently hand wash your snood, and lay it flat to dry.

Seaming - this snood uses the whip stitch to stitch the seams together to form the loop for your snood.

Hand wash gently in cool water using a wool-friendly detergent. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Reshape while damp and lay flat to dry.
