Free Vintage Crochet Pattern: Perky Snood

Here it is!  The cutest, easiest little snood pattern of all time.
Using a yarn color similar to your hair color is more conservative but feel free to use what ever you would like.  Personally, I've had my eye on a yellow, red and orange blend of yarn that i just might have to try.  And remember that you can substitute the 4-ply wool and  size 3 hook for any other kind of yarn or hook as long as your gauge is the same.
