The balaclava is now becoming a full hair accessory: wear it with buns, ponytails or loose hair, and it still keeps you warm. The color choices are extensive, allowing you to create something unique. It’s a low-sew crochet pattern. The back part requires quick sewing.

▪️Size: made to size. The top, the front, and the bottom parts can be customized to fit you.

▪️Level: confident beginner / intermediate. This pattern requires knowing almost all the basic stitches. This doesn’t mean it can’t be done by total beginners; it means it can be achieved by confident beginners and intermediates within a few hours, while total beginners may take days and some research.
