BALACLAVA – SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE
The middle section is worked back and forth with circular needle, from mid front and backwards. Stitches are knitted up on each side of this section. The piece is continued back and forth before stitches are cast on for the neck mid-front. The rest of the balaclava is finished in the round with circular needle. A stocking stich edge is worked around the face-opening to finish.
