CROCHET PATTERN 
This 2 in 1 pattern functions as both a balaclava and a toque. The hat portion is stitched using a simple modified single crochet stitch for an extra dense knit-like fabric. The face covering portion is ribbed for a breathable, stretchy, yet warm protection. Easily roll the face covering up to turn the balaclava into a hat.
