One skein is sufficient for adult size. The rib ensures it will fit men and women
Bodacious Babes balaclava
Overall height 10.5” (26 cms), face opening 6.5” (16 cms) tall
instructions given to make smaller
Knitted flat. Starting at the bottom, a ribbed neck is worked. You then divide for the sides of the hat, working each piece individually before casting back on at the top of the face ‘window’. The top of the hat is then shaped using K2 decreases before being drawn together through the remaining sts and joined on the back seam. Stitches are then picked up around the ‘window’ and a ribbed edging is worked in smaller needles, to ensure a good fit.
A half skein is sufficient.
