The Yara Balaclava / Hood PDF crochet pattern. The perfect pattern to keep you warm during the winter months, you can wear it as a balaclava or as a hood/neck warmer. I don’t leave the house without mine that’s how cosy it is.

Testimonial:
I had an absolute pleasure being a part of the pattern testing process for the Yara Balaclava. Thank you Abby, for being so helpful and responsive. I really, really, really enjoyed this pattern! As someone who uses crochet as a form of mindfulness and therapy, this pattern was everything I look for. It was the perfect combination of relaxing repetitive stitches and an interesting shape/pattern to keep you entertained while making. I appreciate your support to me and this group during the process. It was a joy working with you!!
