Skip Mountains can be used in 4 different ways: balaclava, hoodie, beanie and scarf. It is the perfect most adaptable accessory to use under cold weathers .

ONE SIZE
Fits all until 65cm of head circumference. The piece is designed to have negative ease so it fits tightly.

YARN
(used) 1 ball of Merino Aran by Katia.
(recommended) if possible choose natural fibers yarn. I just used this one because it was to practice sports. I recommend 1 ball of Terra by Rosários4 if you’re not practicing sports while using this design.

You can use any similar yarn to match the gauge.
