Hoodie Hug is a fun and cozy balaclava knit that combines the comfort of a hood with the practicality of a neck warmer. It’s designed to keep your head, neck, and cheeks warm, and can be worn up for extra coverage or down like a relaxed cowl. This is a simple, enjoyable project suitable for confident beginners and intermediate knitters.
