Cocoon Snood

Skill level: easy/intermediate  There are only two stitches which could be difficult - make 5 out of one stitch and knit 5 together. I explain with photos how to do it, and at the end it is very easy.

Stitches used: 

• sts - stitches 
• k - knit (stitch) 
• p - purl (stitch) 
• m5 - make 5 stitches out of one 
• k5tog - knit 5 stitches together

Materials: 

• 150 gr worsted weight yarn (MEDIUM 4) (I used 50% wool, 50% acrylic yarn) 
• circular needles US 10 (6mm) or size needed to obtain gauge (though you have to work in rows and not in rounds, I suggest to use circular needles as the piece is quite wide and you need space for it) 
• tapestry needle

A suggested yarn is shown below.
