NORSK

Gunnvor Balaclava er en enkel balaclava som strikkes frem og tilbake i rillestrikk. Balaclavaen strikkes fra pannen mot bakhodet. Det plukkes opp masker til hver side og sidene på balaclavaen strikkes videre nedover mot halsen i rillestrikk. Ved halsen samles arbeidet. Herfra kan det velges om man ønsker å avslutte balaclavaen med kort ribb-kant i halsen, eller om man vil strikke videre halsparti i rillestrikk for en ekstra god og varm lue. Varianten med hals avsluttes med i-cord kanter for ekstra pen finish.

Det plukkes til slutt opp masker rundt ansiktet til ribbkant og lages to dusker som sys på toppen.

Oppskriften inneholder beskrivelse av alternativer til i-cord, dobbeltstrikk og italiensk avfelling, dersom man ønsker å senke vanskelighetsgraden på oppskriften.

ENGLISH

Gunnvor Balaclava is a balaclava worked in garter stitch. It is worked from the forehead and back to create a square. You pick up stitches to create the sides of the balaclava which are worked towards the neck. From here, you can choose to finish the balaclava in a short version with ribbing around the neck, or with longer neck for a two-in-one hat and neck-warmer. The short version is worked in the round and finished with double-knitting and italian bind-off. For the long version, you work both sides of the neck separately in garter stitch. The upper part of the neck is sewn together and the balaclava is finished wih i-cord edges.

Finally, you pick up stitches around the opening for the face which is worked in ribbing. You make two pom-poms to sewn on top of the balaclava.

The long version of the balaclava is the most beginner friendly version. The pattern includes instructions on alternatives to i-cord, double-knitting and italian bind-off.
