Winter knitwear never goes out of style. Thick knitted sweaters, long scarves and hats of various styles and colors from year to year adorn the catwalks, complementing autumn and winter warm clothes. The latest trend in the fashionable autumn-winter wardrobe is a hood-scarf made of fabric or knitwear, sewn or knitted from wool.

A bit of history

It can be said that it has come back into fashion, since similar models have been seen before, starting from the beginning of the 20th century. Slightly changing in appearance, acquiring bright original accents, the hood-scarf has been a simple and very original accessory for not only women's, but also men's clothing for over a century. It should be said that fashion designers borrowed it from the men's wardrobe, since the hood was the prototype of this fashionable thing - a part of military uniform that protected soldiers and officers from wind and cold.

What now?

Modern fashionable hood-scarf has several varieties. Firstly, this is a model resembling a hood - a hood made ofa scarf folded in half with long wide ends that can be wrapped several times around the neck, crossed over the chest and tied at the waist, or simply loosened on both sides. brush, two patch pockets are sewn in, in which it is convenient to hide hands.

Knitted scarf-hood is made of thick or thin woolen yarn with smooth, embossed or openwork knitting. The most suitable patterns are those designed for knitting scarves. This piece of clothing, made of thick yarn, will well complement a warm sports-style jacket made of leather or raincoat fabric. A hooded scarf made of thin thread, openwork or embossed knitting will be a great addition to a graceful winter coat or fur coat.

Another model is called "pipe" or "snood". Rather, it resembles a collar-collar, which easily transforms into a hood. Such an accessory is knitted in the form of a wide rectangle, the length of which is measured along the oval of the face. For work, circular knitting needles are used, a seamless model is obtained, or ordinary two knitting needles, then the finished product is sewn with an invisible knitted seam.

Snood is a wide "yoke" made of a long knitted rectangle, the ends of which are sewn together and closed in a circle. Snood is put on the head, then the ends are crossed with a figure eight under the chin and thrown over the neck again in the form of a collar, laying in beautiful folds. They complement both sportswear and classic elegant, depending on how viscous and fromwhat kind of yarn is it knitted with. Graceful lace models will be an original addition to a pullover and a thin sweater.

Knitted hood-scarf is suitable not only for women's wardrobe, but also for men, if it is made from soft yarn with a simple knit and a more strict, concise form. A men's scarf-hood, rather, should resemble the same hood, only more modern and fashionable. A similar model is shown in the picture. It is crocheted of thick wool with English ribbing and consists of a long scarf to which a separately knitted hood is sewn. A thick crocheted single crochet stitch is laid along the edge so that the edge is tight and keeps its shape well. Such an accessory will perfectly protect from wind and cold, it can be easily thrown off your head indoors, leaving it on your shoulders in the form of a scarf.
