Special notes: I have made instructions like ‘to end of row’ because it is very easy to pick up extra stitches as you get going. And that is OK! Don’t frog! For crying out loud don’t frog!  This is not a strict pattern!!!
Start by chaining 6 and join with sl st
1st.   Ch 6, *dc into round ch3* rpt from *to* 5 more times, join with sl st in the 3rd ch of beginning ch6
2nd.   Sl st in next 2 sts, ch6 * skip 2 sts dc into next 3ch (of prev row), ch3 dc onto dc of prev row, ch3* rpt from *to* 4 more times, join with sl st in 3rd chain of  beginning 6ch
3rd.   Sl st in next 2 sts, ch6 *skip 2 sts, dc into 3ch (of prev row), ch3, dc onto dc from prev row, ch3 * rpt from *to* to finish as in previous rows join with sl st in 3rd ch of beginning 6ch
4th.   Sl st in next 2 sts ch6 * dc into next ch 3 (of prev row), ch3 * rpt to end join with sl st in 3rd chain of beginning 6ch
5th.   Rpt row 4
6th.   Rpt row 3
7th.          Rpt row 4
8th.   Rpt row 3 at this point you will have a count of 35 “holes” made of ch’s and dc’s
9th.   Ch4 , *dc into first “hole” and ch1* rpt from *to* 16 more times,  **dc into next hole, ch3* * rpt from ** to**  to end (17 more times), join with sl st in 3rd chain of ch4 (from beginning of row)
10th.   Ch3 *dc into hole and ch1*  rpt from *to* 16 more times, **dc into next hole, ch3** rpt from ** to** to end of row (17 more times). Join with sl st in 3rd ch.
11th.   Rpt row 10
12th.   Ch6 dc into space between 2nd and 3rd dc of prev row, * ch3, sk 3 sts dc into sp between next 2 sts (between 5 and 6 dc of prev row)* rpt from *to* 3 times, **ch3 dc into first hole of prev round** rpt to end of row join with sl st into 3rd ch of beginning ch6
13th.   Ch5 *dc int next hole, ch2* rpt from* to* to end of row sl st into 3rd ch of beginning ch5
14th.   Ch4 *dc into next hole, ch1* rpt form *to* 4 times, **dc into next hole, ch2** rpt from ** to** to end of row
15th.   To begin band, sc next row to end TLO (top loops only), join with sl st
16th.   Rpt row 15 decreasing to size by joining two top loops as one stitch (for an average adult head, do this every four or five sts to end).
17th.   Add decorative stitches in this row or continue to rpt row 15
18th.   Rpt row 15 or second row of decorative stitch
19th.   Rpt row 15 finish off weave ends in

I LOVE that! I've always wanted to make a crocheted snood, but I have no clue how.  Kudos to you for doing it!

It looks great!!

I thought you were talking about one of the little animated characters from the game Snood.

It's a horribly addicting game, even with its low-quality images and whatnot. You have been warned.

I added the pattern hope someone tries it, I would love feedback on my first try at an official pattern! I usually do a lot of explaining and hand waving which doesn't really work in the world of blogs and PM-ing!!! 
Happy Crafting!

Oh Oh Oh!!!!!! (waves her hand frantically in the air) I will try this pattern! My hair is now past my waist and I have been looking for a non-thread snood pattern for 2 years now (when my hair was only to my shoulders) Thank you so much! I will post a pic when I get mine done..

Thanks again!

Wooo Hooo!~~ Please let me know if you run into any probs, I think I do some 'unconventional' things when I crochet so I wanted this to be sort of easy.... I hope it is!

hi, lovely snood, thanks for the pattern, putting it on my list to do. its hot here, so i would want to use cotton, should double the thing stuff? or buy thicker cotton mix? how many balls do  you think? thanks for sharing the pattern, i had admired what  you made for the birthday swap.
