In the last post on covering my hair, I wrote about my sheitels. So let’s hang out wherever works for you. Stick around for a minute, check it out, and if you like what you see, you can sign up for new posts to come via email (in the sidebar there). I also have a Facebook page for my blog, an Instagram account, and I write regularly for Hevria. Arthelia’s Attic is another stellar Etsy seller dealing in snoods, including the beautiful deluxe snoods.Hi! Did you end up here because you did a search for the word “tichel” or “mitpatchat” or something along those lines? Welcome! I don’t actually talk about tichels all that much on this blog, but I do talk about other things, like a lot about motherhood, a little about marriage, a lot about Jewish topics, and then some random other stuff. She makes wonderful snoods and sells them at really reasonable prices. I buy most of my snoods from April’s Bag.

Snoods can be worn with various hairstyles in the front pompadours, victory rolls, and look great when paired with a hair flower too! As snoods became more of a fashion accessory as opposed to a working girl’s staple, many milliners began to incorporate snoods of either the netting kind or fabric kind into their hats. So if you know who to wield a crochet needle, you can make some yourself! There were also fabric snoods as well. However there are loads of patterns to make beautiful, stylish and complex snoods to go with your outfits, such as this pattern available on Etsy. Most snoods are simple and of this crochet design I am wearing. One of my favorite bloggers really knows how to rock a snood, please check her and her equally fashionable husband on their blog Lost in the 50s. But soon snoods found their way into everyday fashion during the 1940s and early 1950s. Women entered the war effort in full force by working in factories, which required them to keep their hair out of the way and snoods were the answer. Snoods have a history dating back to the Renaissance, had a revival in the mid 1800s, and came back into vogue during the 1940s due to World War II for rather practical reasons. Okay, so this isn’t really a must have for all vintage-loving gals.
