Here is a clear, detailed, beginner-friendly guide for making the simplest knitted snood-collar quickly and easily. No complicated shaping, no sewing (unless you want it), and perfect for a fast project.

🧶 How to Make the Simplest Knitted Snood-Collar — Quick & Easy!

A snood-collar is basically a soft tube you can pull over your head—warmer than a scarf, easier than a cowl, and extremely simple to knit. This version uses only basic stitches, chunky yarn, and big needles, so you can finish it in a few hours.

⭐️ Materials You’ll Need

Chunky or super-chunky yarn (weight 5 or 6)
– About 150–200 g (one large skein is enough)
Knitting needles:
– Circular needles 8–10 mm (US 11–15), 40–60 cm cable
(Or use straight needles if you prefer to seam at the end.)
Tapestry needle for weaving/seaming
Scissors
Stitch marker (optional if knitting in the round)

🧵 Method 1 — Knit in the Round (Fastest, No Seam!)

1. Cast On

Cast on 60–70 stitches for adults.
(60 = snug, 70 = looser. Chunky yarn stretches nicely.)

2. Join to Work in the Round

Make sure stitches aren’t twisted.
Place a marker to mark the beginning.

3. Choose Your Stitch Pattern

Any of these are great for beginners:

🔹 Option A: Simple Rib (stretchy + cozy)

🔹 Option B: Garter Stitch in the Round (super easy)

Round 1: Knit all stitches
Round 2: Purl all stitches
Repeat.

🔹 Option C: Stockinette (smooth + classic)

Knit every round.

4. Knit the Body of the Snood

Knit until your tube reaches 25–30 cm (10–12 inches) in height.
Try it on while working—stop when it sits how you like.

5. Bind Off

Bind off loosely so the top edge stretches comfortably.
Cut yarn and weave in ends.

🎉 You’re done!
This snood will naturally roll or drape depending on the stitch.

🧵 Method 2 — Knit Flat (Just One Seam)

1. Cast On

Cast on 30–40 stitches on chunky needles.
(This determines the height of the snood.)

2. Knit a Rectangle

Choose a stitch pattern:

Garter stitch: knit every row
2×2 rib: K2, P2 repeat every row
Stockinette: knit 1 row, purl 1 row

Knit until your rectangle measures 50–60 cm (20–24 in) wide.

3. Seam the Short Edges

Fold into a tube and stitch the cast-on edge to the bind-off edge using a mattress stitch or simple whip stitch.

Done!

Looks exactly like a circular knitted snood.

🌟 Tips to Make It Even Faster

Use super-bulky yarn (weight 7) + 12–15 mm needles → finish in 1–2 hours.
Want extra softness? Use acrylic-wool blends, alpaca, or merino.
Want structure? Ribbing (1×1 or 2×2) holds shape best.
Want slouchy drape? Stockinette or garter works great.
Add color: use self-striping yarn for easy stripes with no effort.

🧵 Optional Add-Ons

Decorative edge: work the first 4 rounds in K1P1 rib even if using another stitch.
Drawstring top: weave a cord through the top edge to tighten on cold days.
Double-thick snood: knit a long tube and fold inside itself before binding off.
