1940s Crochet Hair Snood Pattern – Vintage Mesh Snood with Ribbon Bow

This 1940s crochet snood has an open mesh design made to hold the hair neatly at the back of the head. The snood is gathered around the outer edge with round elastic and finished at the front with a tailored grosgrain ribbon bow.

Designed for a medium head size, it uses 4-ply wool and requires approximately 2 oz (57 g). The pattern calls for a No. 10 crochet hook (approximately 3.25 mm), 1 yard (91 cm) of grosgrain ribbon and 22 inches (56 cm) of round elastic.

The stated gauge is 4 meshes to 3 inches (7.5 cm).

A straightforward 1940s accessory pattern that uses a small amount of yarn and works particularly well for vintage styling, historical dress and everyday wear.
