I’ve had this object finished for almost 2 weeks now but I keep dragging on posting this up to the blog. This is the Lacy Starfish Snood by berrymama knit in less than 1 skein of Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece. This skein of yarn (and the other Cotton Fleece in my stash) was bought years ago for the purpose of knitting Kyoto from Knitty… but it looked hideous on me when nearly finished (it was a fit problem and a sleeve issue) and I never bothered to finish it. This skein was an accent color that never got added.. but it makes a lovely hat and I’m glad I hung onto it.
I love this hat/snood and am definitely casting on another one in black shortly. My only mod for next time will be to drop down another needle size for the ribbing because I’ve had to take it in from stretching and I have to pin it to keep it on.
I do love that it keeps all of my hair contained.. its very useful and pretty too!
Why is it called “starfish” snood? Check out the decreases in the back! How cool is that? (also.. my husband rocks at taking pictures. You should have seen the horrible photos I took in the bathroom)

Ooooh, I really like the new snood. Maybe I will have to knit one of these for my hair. I have A LOT of curly/wavy hair goin’ on.
oooh, Very nice, lovely!
You’re lucky to have such a camera/photo shootin’ rockin’ husband.
that turned out lovely, mouse, and it looks great on you!
Very pretty!
i gave up knitting 10 years ago.
It turned out great!!
Hi Mouse,
Lovely pictures.
Isn’t it great when the man in your life can and does that good pictures of you.
Love the snood. Great color.
Hugs, Euphoria
love the snood!
Ooh very pretty! What a great way to protect your hair.
This is a great pattern and it looks really great on you, too.
Love the snood!
I’ve even printed the pattern – but I don’t know who I am going to knit it for. My hair is on the short side and the rest of my family (males AND females) have short hair as well.
But the pictures are pretty to look at.

What a pretty hat. I’ve been looking for these. I want one.
