First, a square is worked for the top of the head. Then stitches are picked up and knitted along the sides of the square and the balaclava is worked back and forth to under the chin, where it is joined in the round. At the end, a rib edge is worked around the face opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe balaclava has a feminine fit, as it covers the ears, but not the forehead or sides of the face. Note that the measurements given for the finished balaclava are for after it has been washed. The hat should be washed before wearing as the fisherman’s rib grows giving the hat the correct size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBegin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge.
