PATTERN - Pearl Balaclava

THIS IS A DIGITAL PRODUCT

INFORMATION

A classic balaclava with beautiful details. The main body is knitted in the moss stitch, finished with a wide double ribbing. Fun fact! in Danish the moss stitch is called the ‘pearl’ stitch (perlestrik), which is where the name came from.

The pattern comes in two sizes - either formfitting or with a looser fit. If you play around with the gauge, you can make it fit most head sizes.
