If you haven’t yet jumped on the balaclava trend but have been eyeing one up with curiosity, now is your moment to go for it! The Beild balaclava couldn’t be any cosier and is the ideal styling piece for colder months, with a neck that is designed to be long enough to tuck into your outerwear and keep out all draughts. The simple to work mini waffle stitch pattern creates a thick but lightweight fabric that creates lots of little pockets to trap air and keep you and your face extra toasty!

Details

Using a single strand of chunky yarn, or a fluffy laceweight held together with worsted, this balaclava is worked from the top-down with a fun construction that’s a little like turning a sock heel. This is a wonderful project for knitters growing in confidence with their skills, as the bulk of the pattern is worked in an easy waffle stitch, which gives the balaclava it’s beautiful shape and warming properties. A neat finish is created at the face opening with a stylish ribbed border.
