This top-down crochet balaclava is designed to be worn two ways: as a fitted ski mask or rolled up into a classic beanie with a structured brim. The pattern includes instructions for customizing the crown size for adults and teens and features clean shaping with a modern, minimal texture.

Written in US terms.
Gauge not important. Measurements at crown matter the most. Can be used with any weight yarn, but pattern was written with worsted weight (4) and using a 5mm hook.
