ABOUT THE PROJECT
Transform your beanie into a balaclava in just 2 seconds!
The Beanie Balaclava is super easy, fun, and quick to knit. This pattern is designed with the new knitter in mind - no complicated techniques or abbreviations.
The Beanie Balaclava is worked from the bottom up on circular needles 8 mm | US 11. If you have 40 cm | 16 inches circular needles (measured from tip to tip), use those; otherwise, you can knit using the magic loop technique.
YARN SUGGESTIONS
I knitted my balaclava using a mix of leftover yarns, combining 2–3 strands at a time. Here are some examples of yarn combinations I used:
- Double Sunday by Sandnes + Angora Deluxe by Mondial
- Nepal + Melody, both by Drops
- 2 strands of Superwash Merino by Sabina Sistoe + Sunday by Drops
- 1 strand Tentação 25 Neon Green/Orange by Rosarios4
- 1 strand Snow by Drops

Is your yarn stock low - or does it just need a breath of fresh air? Then buy a Stopgarnspil package from Garnspecialisten, which sells deadstock and surplus yarn that would have been burned if they hadn't saved it.
Jeg er vild med dit opsæt.
En god blanding af livet, garn og fede opskrifter.
Jeg er fan 🥰
Fin balaclava af restegarn
Jeg strikkede Beaniebalaclava til en kollega som en overraskelse og jeg elsker det cool look som beanien har og så det gode party trick med at kunne rulle den ned som en balaclava. Jeg fik brugt en masse skønne brun/sorte-rester til opskriften og det var dejligt. Det var lynhurtigt at lave den og det er ikke den sidste ☺️
En nem og let opgave, som ikke tager lang tid at lave og så er den kæmpe fin ❤️
Supergod opskrift der er nem at følge, har strikket flere eksemplarer da det simpelthen bare går super stærkt :)
