ABOUT THE WORK

The Pumpkin Spice Balaclava is knitted top down with a structure. First, the top of the head is knitted, then stitches are picked up along the sides and the rest of the hat is knitted back and forth in structure. When the hat is the right length, the work is gathered and finished with a rib edge knitted on needle 8. Finally, stitches are picked up along the opening in the front, which is also finished with a rib edge on needle 8.
