The Cora Balaclava / Hood PDF crochet pattern. The perfect pattern to keep you warm during the winter months, you can wear it as a balaclava or as a hood/neck warmer. I don’t leave the house without mine that’s how cosy it is.

Testimonial:
Testing with Abby is always such a pleasure. I love how she fosters a community within the group chat and makes everyone feel welcome and appreciated. The pattern PDFs are always so aesthetic, directions are clearly written in easy to view fonts. She writes patterns in such a way that is easy to understand, without long or confusing steps to follow. I have never been overwhelmed following one of her patterns! @bouquetcrochetbykerri
