Chunky Knit Snood

I'm getting the hang of this knitting thing.

This is an chunky knit Snood (Scarf + Hood) or Cowl.

I used a thick merino wool yarn for this. And a simple pattern of course, just knit 1, purl 1, and repeat.

 Here's Castle, modelling it. It's for a bigger person, so imagine it on one with a thicker neck and bigger shoulders.

The thick yarn, simple pattern, and the small in nature project compounded to a very quick creation, which makes a great last minute Christmas gift.

P.S. Have you ever seen a watermelon like this?

Actually, I'm not even sure if it's a watermelon. What do you think it is? We found it at the Granville Island Market.
