Sandy’s Balaclava
Soft, voluminous and colorful this balaclava is worked top-down in garter stitch with a 1x1 ribbed neck and an I-cord finishing edge.
The use of mohair is the defining feature, giving the balaclava its signature fluff and cloud-like softness.
From a styling perspective, mix contrasting colors or shades from the same palette.
Use two colors for the head, then switch to a single color for the neck and I-cord edge.
Sandy’s two-tone balaclava is designed for knitters who love texture, color play and bold details.
