Beautiful Ballerina Snood (Bun Cover)
Lion Brand® Glitterspun®
GAUGE: 18 sts + 26 rows = 4" (10cm) on size 8 (5mm) needles
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES: This snood will easily cover an average amount of hair, if your hair hangs to the middle of your back. If your hair is extremely thick or if it is longer, knit an extra row with the size 19 needles for a total of 9 rows.

FINISHING
Thread the yarn end into the large-eyed, blunt needle. Sew ends together,
weave in ends.
Thread the ribbon into the large-eyed, blunt needle (it may be necessary to
fold it.) Thread the ribbon through the row knit with the size 19 needles
that is closest to the outside edge of the snood. Pull the ribbon so that it
is evenly distributed through the edge of the cover.
To wear, put your hair into a ponytail and wrap into a bun. Place the
snood/bun cover over it, pull the ribbon tight and tie into a bow. Secure
with bobby pins as needed.

| Knitting into the front and back of a Stitch
An easy way to add a stitch is to use an existing stitch and to knit two
loops into it rather than the usual one. Insert the right needle into
the stitch, wrap the yarn around the needle and pull through as for a normal
knit stitch, elongating the loop slightly. Don't pull the stitch over the
left needle yet.
Bring the top of the right needle around to the back and knit into the
back loop of the stitch as shown (see the FAQ on knitting into the back loop
for more detail). You now have two stitches on the right needle.
