4 - Fur snood
1. Cut 2 pieces of fabric, the fur piece will be about 33" long x 12" wide. The second piece of fabric is the liner, cut it to be 33" long and 2" shorter so the fur will roll over into the inside a little. Pin and sew right sides together the edges together (the fur side and the outside of the lining). 
2. Turn the tube right side out, so the fur is on the outside. 
3&4. Pin the two openings together, starting about 1/4 down the fur, through to the linning and back through till 1/4 down the fur opening. Kind of like this tutorial. Sew. So then you are left with a little opening. 
5. Sew the little opening closed. boy fold the opening's edges a little and pin them on top of each other. You won't even see the thread because of the fur, so  you can just top stitch it. 
6. Comb out/pull the fur that was sewn into the edges.
