KNIT SNOOD

A Snood is historically a type of European female head gear or in modern times a tubular neck scarf, in the most common form the headgear resembles a close-fitting hood worn over the back of the head.
In modern times, snoods have been popular for many years with European footballers, a sack of sorts dangles from this band, covering and containing the fall of long hair gathered at the back.  A snood sometimes was made of solid fabric, but more often of loosely knitted yarn and other net-like material.
