A Rainbow Snood, some creative stitching and casting off

It's finished. The colors in this pict are not at all true. It's a soft rasberry pink, a pale terquoise, a forest green and a buttercup yellow. This shows the finished snood, the cast-on, the stitching and the cast-off. It is long enough to go around the neck twice loosely or you can pull up one loop from the neck and wear it as a hood. Either way it is snuggly warm.




This is the cast-on. I used the Channel Island Cast-on to create texture along the edge.




And this is the cast-off, I did something a bit different here. I used the stitched stretchy castoff but on the row before I cast off, I set up with a single strand stitch alternating with a tripple strand stitch. It created a slight 'beading' on the cast-off edge to balance the texture of the cast-on.


The body of the piece is done with a textured row to create even more profile/texture in each stripe.

All in all, it's a very warm snuggly rainbow piece.
