The Design
The Tic Tac Toe Snood is a cozy and stylish hooded cowl designed for warmth, texture, and versatility. This reversible crochet pattern features a unique two-sided fabric—plus signs on one side and zeroes on the other—creating a bold, graphic look inspired by the classic game of tic-tac-toe.
Using aran-weight yarn and a large hook, this pattern works up quickly, making it a satisfying project with a quick turnaround. The striking contrast of two colors brings the design to life, while the plush, textured stitches provide extra warmth and softness for chilly days. Whether you wear it with the hood up for ultimate coziness or draped around your neck as a cowl, the Tic Tac Toe Snood is as functional as it is eye-catching.
With detailed instructions, a thoughtfully designed step-by-step photo tutorial and video demonstration for the interlocking stitch pattern, this crochet snood is an engaging and enjoyable make.

MATERIALS
Yarn:
This pattern is written for worsted weight yarn. Choose a yarn that meets the gauge provided below. If you want to substitute the acrylic fiber, I suggest picking warm, animal fibers such as wool, alpaca, or mohair. These fibers will keep you warm and snug on the coldest days. You can also use a blend of wool with other fibers like nylon or acrylic for added durability and ease of care. Remember to choose a yarn color that you love and that will complement your winter wardrobe!
Shown in: Furls Wander Yarn (100% premium acrylic; 120 yds / 109 m per 100 g ball) in “Atlantis” as the main color and “Snow” as the contrast color.
Hooks: 7.0 mm (main gauge) hk, 6.0 mm (ribbing) hk, or sizes needed to obtain gauge. I used my Furls and my Clover Amour hooks. I’m a tight crocheter, so you may have to go down in hook sizes.
Notions: Scissors, darning needle, 4 stitch markers.
YARDAGE
The approximate yardage is:
Main color: 3 skeins or 320 yds / 295 m.
Contrast color: 3 skeins or 260 yds / 240 m.If your yarn or gauge is different, your yardage may vary.
