Yarn kit for the November Balaclava from PetiteKnit.

The November Balaclava is knitted from top to bottom in half-pattern stitch. This makes it cozy and warm and protects your head. It has a small collar at the bottom so that your neck doesn't get cold either.

The yarn combination of Peer Gynt and Tynn Silk Mohair is really beautiful and super robust. The more you wear the yarn the softer it gets. Even if Peer Gynt is too bulky for you, you will love it in combination with Tynn Silk Mohair! Be sure to try it out!

The balaclava has a feminine fit and although it covers the ears, it does not extend very far into the face. Note that the measurements given refer to the measurements after washing. The balaclava must be washed before use and may grow due to the half-pattern pattern.

Remember to always knit a swatch first.
