Igneous is a balaclava! It’s knit flat at first and then in the round, all in one piece, in a sport/DK weight yarn. It’s shown in Malabrigo Arroyo in Archangel, in the smaller size.

Combined ribbing and welts make this balaclava flexible to wear: the face part can be pulled down or up, or the neckwarmer part can be folded up to make a hat.
