November Balaclava

Produktinformation

This knitting pattern from Petite Knit is in Swedish. The pattern is sent in printed format.

November Balaclava is knitted from top to bottom in half patent. First, a square is knitted that forms the top of the head. Then stitches are picked up on each side of this square, and the balaclava is knitted straight down, to finally be brought together under the chin and knitted in the round. This is by picking up stitches under the chin. Finally, an elastic edging is knitted around the face opening.

The balaclava has a feminine fit, as it covers the ears but without going so far into the face. Note that the measurements apply after washing and that you should wash the balaclava before use, as semi-patent stretches when washed.

Knit a test patch to find the stitch size that gives you the right stitch strength. Wash the test strip before measuring the stickiness.

Sizes: S/M (L/XL)

Fits head circumference: 54-58 (58-61) cm

Width of the hood: 18 (20) cm (measured when the hood lies flat on its side)

Knit strength: 16 stitches x 36 rounds in semi-patent on needles 4.5 mm = 10 x 10 cm before washing corresponds to 14 stitches x 36 rounds in semi-patent on needles 4.5 mm = 10 x 10 cm after washing because semi-patent stretches during washing/ use.
