Daniel Balaclava

English and Norwegian knitting pattern (digital PDF).

The Daniel Balaclava is an elegant and warm unisex design. The pattern is beginner-friendly and quick to knit. The balaclava features a twisted rib around the neck. The rib is worked in the round using a circular needle, while the rest of the balaclava is worked back and forth with stocking stitch. Once completed, the top is seamlessly joined using the kitchener stitch for an invisible finish, and the piece is elegantly framed with an i-cord edge around the face opening.
