Construction:
Balaclava is seamless and worked in the round. First you make the outer balaclava, then the inner one. You begin to work from the neck with the provisional cast-on, then you shape the face opening and forehead, then decrease stitches for the crown. After that you remove provisional cast-on, place live stitches on working needles and knit the inner part in the same way.
