Pussy Riot supporters around the world have been protesting their imprisonment by donning homemade balaclavas like the ones Pussy Riot wore during the performance for which they were arrested. Balaclavas are illegal in certain parts of the world, so I created this pattern so that you can make your own homemade balaclava, with images of the members of Pussy Riot who were arrested displayed on it, to wear in support of them.

I knitted this using a hacked standard gauge electronic knitting machine from an image of Pussy Riot at their trial.
