I am looking for a pattern using cotton thread. I just got a job working in a store at PARF and need to get my outfit together quickly.
Thanks
Since you are working at faire, how strict are they? Crochet is a 19th c invention. Cotton wasn't used in England in the 16th c. Also, it's really cheap to just buy a snood (if they aren't too strict). I've gotten most of mine for $3 or so.
Here's a suggestion...
Take a simple round Doily pattern for a snood, using a middle weight yarn and size F needle. Follow the instructions and a snood will appear.
Good luck!!
Google "crochet snood pattern," and search through the links. I don't crochet, so I don't know what can be altered, etc. But here's one pattern:

Alternately, Pillaged Village (http://www.pillagedvillage.com/~pillaged/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/HTC_Snoods.html) sells ready-made crochet snoods for $3.
Third option: sew a caul/coif instead.
With fabric (http://www.elizabethancostume.net/headwear/caulmake.html)
With metallic cord (http://www.pillagedvillage.com/~pillaged/cgi-bin/cart.cgi/HTC_Snoods.html)
(I made a linen caul/coif last season, by hand, in about an hour.)
uhmm. gem. you have the pillaged village link twice. one is for the mettalic snood, the other for the pillaged vill link
