Gauge: 21 sts in 4 in / 10cm in stockinette stitch (row gauge is not important – measurements are given instead of row count).

You will need: DK yarn (up to 300 grams), knitting needles to obtain the gauge, safety pin, stitch marker, locking stitch marker, darning needle. Optional: several decorative buttons.

This balaclava is knit flat and then seamed, but the face opening binding is knit in the round. You will need knitting needles for knitting flat and for knitting in the round, both the same size to obtain the gauge.

At this time, this pattern is available in one size only (adult).
