This is a super cozy balaclava that is knit by holding two strands of weight 4/worsted yarn, switching out one color at a time as you work to create this unique and colorful effect! This project is great for using up those little bits of scrap yarn you have been holding on to. Use as many or as few colors as you desire!

This pattern is best for knitters who are advanced beginners. It’s an excellent project for those looking to practice some new techniques, like picking up stitches, ribbing, decreasing, and increasing, without having to take on a massive, complicated project. I love making these balaclavas because they work up fairly quickly and make for excellent fall, winter, and holiday gifts!
