3 fun and simple balaclava knitting patterns
A balaclava is an accessory that is designed to cover your head and neck, while having an opening for the face – kind of like a hood. Although the accessory has been around for a long time, it has just recently become very popular again. Because they cover more of your face and head than a hat usually would, they are very warm and insulating for the winter. The balaclava also covers your neck, which means that you can leave your scarf at home – it’s like two accessories in one. A lot of balaclava or ski masks are typically used in winter sports, but we love the trendy take on the new fashionable ones.

(The accelerated segments of the video show my actual normal knitting speed.) 3. Continental is comfortable, smooth and efficient. Fewer motions of wrists and needles, fewer steps to complete each stitch, more relaxed hands, more consistent tension. You basically move your fingertips only. Front or back loop? It depends. When I knit Stockinette flat, I like to work through the back loop. It’s sooo fast and meditative! O
