Ghostlava Pattern - Download

The Garment

Keep yourself extra snug this winter with our Ghostlava protecting yourself from all the elements (including the spooky kind!)

The balaclava is knitted flat. Start by working a provisional cast on (this will later be folded in half and worked together using kitchener stitch to form the top of the head). Work back and forth, following the colourwork chart and making increases/decreases to shape the head and chin. The neck is then knitted in stockinette stitch before being sewn together down the centre front. Finish by working I-cord edging around the neck and face hole.

You can also buy this pattern on Ravelry.
