Lion Brand Notes:

Note that textured ribbons (as opposed to satin) will stay tied better. We liked how a light, organza-type ribbon looked the best and it stayed tied very well. If you are using grosgrain ribbon, you may want to try 1-inch (2.5 cm) or even ¾-inch (2 cm) ribbon.

This snood will easily cover an average amount of hair, if your hair hangs to the middle of your back. If your hair is extremely thick or if it is longer, knit an extra row with the size 19 needles for a total of 9 rows.

To wear, put your hair into a ponytail and wrap into a bun. Place the snood/bun cover over it, pull the ribbon tight and tie into a bow. Secure with bobby pins as needed.
