Hit The Slopes Balaclava Pattern
price: $5.00
Winter is coming! Here to prepare you is our latest pattern, the Hit The Slopes Balaclava!. This pattern is a fashionable, modern twist on a vintage hooded design. It is ideal for cozying-up your head and neck from the coldest temps. This design is worked from the top down with a seamless construction and a garter edge. Get creative and whip up a multicolor, striped mix using our Mini Skein Sampler Kits (or stash!) or go for a more toned down, solid version, using just one skein of our Spun Cloud yarn.
