November Balaclava Mini 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 by picking up stitches under the chin. Finally, an elastic edging is knitted around the face opening.
Knit a test patch to find the stitch size that gives you the right stitch strength. Wash the test strip before measuring the stickiness.
