About the pattern
Vibes Balaclava is a chunky, practical balaclava with an “open/close” feature. It is worked from the face opening and backwards in brioche sts. Stitches are decreased along the back of the head, then stitches are picked up for the neck. Next, stitches are increased at the saddle shoulders to shape the collar. Finally, stitches are picked up along all edges and bound off with an I-cord.
