Dads, granddads, husbands, sons and friends - there's potentially a lot of folks out there that would love something you specifically crocheted for them.

Snood, buff, neck-warmer or cowl (the descriptions are pretty interchangeable) are great for men (and women) as they keep the neck and ears warm without the gappiness of a scarf!

Perfect to be easily pulled up to protect the face from the winter chill, and simple enough to wear around the neck for warmth and wind protection. Ideal for cycling, hiking or any outdoor sport.

Designed to keep you cosy and warm it adds a stylish yet minimalist finish to your winter look. The textured stitches lends an elegance to this cowl and working with a semi-solid colour makes it a versatile addition to your seasonal accessories.

This pattern is perfect for adventurous crocheter that love a bit of texture. It's a fairly easy pattern to master, once you get the hang of the stitch repeats.
