Tilbehør No 7 by Augustins for Hillesvåg

This pattern may be given out to customers free when they purchase the yarn for it.

The balaclava is knitted in stockinette stitch – first back and forth, and then in the round when shaping the decreases at the back of the neck. Stitches are then picked up along the lower edge of the hood to form the ribbed neck edge. Finally, a double rib edge is worked around the face opening, with elastic thread inserted so that the opening fits snugly and neatly against the face.
