Sometimes you see a design and you know you have to make it. Sometimes it’s a complex masterpiece, or something simple that speaks to you. This is the latter!! The 27 Color Snood by Blue Sky Fibers.
The original was knit in Woolstok Worsted. I used their 27-color mini-bundle with Cascade 220 in color Vashon for my main color.
This was a fun, super quick knit! It looks weird, like a skirt, but fits like the picture. I made mine larger by adding 30 sts and still had plenty of each stripe color.
Sally used Woolstok Thyme for her main color and it’s gorgeous!!
ETA: Surly has been super busy and will add a photo when she can. Sorry we have been off the grid a while! Summer is take a break time. 
Oh gosh this is beautiful (that exact amount of spacing between the stripes is so compelling) and opens up the one aspect of knitting that keeps me up nights: Color. At one time I would have picked my favorite go-to Gray as the background color, but time and my skin tone marches on and so I am thinking myriad shades of aqua, light green, purple or red. Or even lavender or pink. See the problem? (Hmmm…maybe Taupe and accompanying dusty-colored stripes to give it a southwestern vibe? It never ends.). Thank you so much for this wonderful example, Susan. Hope to see Sally’s version soon.

Lovely colours. Is it comfy?
P.S. So happy to see your post – I was beginning to worry about you two!

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing your mods for a larger snood. Please, what technique did you use to keep from having a jog when striping?
Thanks! B.
