This knitting pattern for a sleek and cozy fitted balaclava is the perfect weekend project! It requires minimal amounts of yarn, so if you have some scrap yarn just waiting for a small project, this is the one! Knitted balaclavas are quick to knit up and are excellent winter gifts for him, her, they - even for little ones!

This knitted balaclava pattern includes three sizes – child, small adult, and large adult.

To make this balaclava, you will begin by creating the crown piece. You then pick up stitches around the crown piece to form the body before joining in the round and completing the neck ribbing. Stitches are picked up around the face opening to complete the face ribbing.
