This is the only video on how to do a balaclava that I understant ! Thank you so much for explaining it so well 💕
I’m glad you are enjoying it
YES! all the other videos I seen they speed through the steps and I’m lost 😭😭😭
OMG! Within the first two minutes of the video... From someone who is a semi experienced crocheter and has crocheted for 50+ years and after watching a gazillion other tutorials, some of which seemed okay but also frustrating, discombobulated, etc..
Finally! Within TWO minutes of this girl explaining the breakdown of what will be done it's like.. YAY!!! It's doable!
This tutorial is an absolute life saver. I've never been able to finish a yarn project before but i am currently wearing the balaclava I made and i love it! I skipped two stiches instead of just one, using the same logic you provided to make it snugger and it worked out great! Thanks for being so clear (telling me that chaining up 1 doesn't count as a stitch is always where i get confused with other patterns or videos)
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you :) enjoy your new balaclava!
Best tutorial..so far of balaclava...thank you.
just came here to write exactly the same! :)
This tutorial is amazing!! I just started crocheting yesterday and immediately started your balaclava tutorial and your explanations are so clear! I'm in love with my balaclava. Also love how it looks without the 'hat' part on, like a scarf. Amazing! Thank you very much!
Wow, I'm glad you were able to make this as a beginner!
This video made everything SO much clearer for me. You’ve helped me finish my first project after dozens of incomplete and abandoned work. THANK YOU SO MUCH this video is truly a life saver, I’m forever in love with crocheting now and could not have learnt without this video!!!
Amazing tutorial, as a visual learner, this really helped me a lot and I finally finished an actual big crocheting project!
this is literally the best tutorial ever! it was so easy to follow and taught me so many new techniques, so thanks you!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it :) thank you for watching
One of the greatest crochet tutorials I have ever followed. Thank you!
This is the first big project I’ve finished since starting to crochet - thank you for making it so fun and easy to learn! 💞 I used different coloured yarn for the ribbing at the bottom and around the face to give it a little extra pop and it looks great.
Turned out absolutely stunning!! You have the best tutorial I can find! I love that you show us how to do every stitch! Did not have to refer to any other videos!
* For anyone making this note that she isn’t using a super thin yarn… I used one for my first balaclava and although it turned out great it was a little snug… it was giving buzz light year. If you’re looking for a more relaxed balaclava use a thick yarn and a bigger needle!
* also when doing the bottom ribbing make sure to do the same amount of stitches between attaching each rib or the neck will be kind of off center
Ps… you should do a bunny or teddy bear ear tutorial for the balaclava!!
I ended up using thinner yarn as well! Tip if you want to use the thinner yarn is that whenever she models it on her head, I tried it on myself to see if it matched what it looked like on her. So I ended up doing more rows overall and it came out great! :)
Thank you so much! And great tips :)
@@rebecca21wong99 same here! I had to restart in the first portion but adding rows (and increasing the way she says to) fixes it right up.. it does take longer though aha
girl you are AMAZING! I learned how to crochet in December through your videos in hopes that I’d be able to make a balaclava and it’s like you read my mind! I love love love your channel
That’s awesome! I hope you enjoy this tutorial then! ^_^
I loved the way you explained everything. Thank you so much! 💖
This is so perfect, thank you!! I love little projects like this as a beginner, it's nice to be able to get to a finished product within a couple of days. Thank you for making this so simple and discussing customisation options as well!
I’m so glad you enjoyed, thank you for watching! :)
Just finished mine! I used leftover yarn from a cardigan project and it's so cute 🤗 Going to try it outside tomorrow, made it from 100% wool so I'm pretty sure it's going to keep me warm ❤ Thank you for a wonderful pattern!
I’ve been crocheting for years and never saw the front post back post stitch technique, so cool thanks for including it in this pattern
i'm a beginner, but this taught me three new stitches *and* how to make a cute hat easy. you're amazing !
I’m so happy this helped you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’ve been crocheting since I was a kid and am a visual learner - reading patterns doesn’t click as much. You did an excellent job explaining throughly how to do this! ❤️
i'm at a loss with written patterns most of the time too! glad you enjoyed :)
this tutorial was so easy to follow. the organization and explanations were super helpful and my end product looked just like the tutorial. i finished my balaclava in a single day and im obsessed with it!
Yay!! That's awesome ! :)
This tutorial is amazing!! It's so easy to follow, for once everything makes sense:) Thank you!
I’m glad it was helpful for you :)
Thank you for explaining and showing it so well!!
I made this in thinner wool and smaller hook and it fits my 10 month old granddaughter perfectly. Thank you
Thank you so much for the tutorial! It was the easiest tutorial to follow so far & my warm balaclava will get me through the berlin winter haha - thank you :))
Thank you for the video, I just made the balaclava myself and it turned out great!
This tutorial is amazing. I just finished my balaclava and I absolutely love it. I stumbled on this tutorial as a beginner crochet-er and thought it would be perfect to wear under my helmet when cycling in the cold. I followed this tutorial exactly except I chained 14 for the neck ribbing to make it a little longer. I used 67g (~140yd) of Lion Brand Scarfie yarn, and it's soooo soft and cozy. You are super clear and make it really easy to see what stitches to go into, and I also learned a ton of new techniques. Thank you so much!!
That's awesome! Thank you for watching :)
I just finished my balaclava, it was definitely the most advanced thing I’ve made but this tutorial was soo helpful and easy to follow. And I learned some new techniques!! Thank u!!
I'm glad it helped! :)
this is the first thing i ever crocheted, I used way too thin of yarn so had to add rows/stitches for almost every part, never would have been possible without this video, took me two days of unraveling/re-doing but its done and its amazing, thank you so much for this free and high quality resource!
Wow, I'm so glad you were able to accomplish that! Thank you for watching :)
i just made this and it turned out so well! this is the best balaclava tutorial i’ve found. thank you!
I’m so happy to hear! Thanks for watching ^_^
i’m going skiing for the first time ever tomorrow and i felt like i needed a balaclava so i decided to make one! i used an 8mm hook and weight 5 yarn and it turned out great (i made a few adjustments to account for the bigger hook size and it all still worked out perfectly). thank you for the tutorial i am very excited to wear it. also it didn’t take long to make at all so something fun to whip up fast!
yeah, this is a quick project! glad it still worked out well for you :)
this tutorial is literally amazing! Love your voice, everything is well explained❤️
thank you so much! :)
your tutorial is so clear and i can say with all certainty that this is the best one i have ever found on how to make w balaclava- btw it ended up being so pretty! thanks

OMG 🤗 Thank you so much! I’ve been hunting for a balaclava pattern for months! I’ve tried a few that were okay. But this! This is awesomeness! I must confess the ribbing for the neck had me ready to fall out kicking and screaming! 😱
I didn’t. And I made it through!
Oh! I also couldn’t find the PDF pattern so I had to write all the steps down. It was worth it!
Yes that ribbing can get a bit annoying 😅 glad you enjoyed the pattern though :)

P.S. Providing the total stitch counts after each increasing round in the beginning helped so much to make sure I was inserting into the right stitches.

This is the best tutorial I’ve found on how to make a balaclava thank you so much 😩
Thank you for watching! :)
This has been my second ever crocheting project. I finished it and I am so happy with my fully homemade balaclava. Even though I used a different thickness of yarn and needle, the tutorial was still extremely easy to understand and very helpfull. Thank you sooo much
What thickness? I’m thinking about doing. A 4 medium but I’m worried on it shrinking the sizing. Any tips?
@@josalee6479 I believe i used a 5.5 mm crochet needle. The yarn i don't remember. But the only thing i changed was the amount of rows. I just added the amount that felt right, as long as it matched with the recommended measurements in the video :)
absolutely spectacular pattern! and quick too! made it in one night! Thank you so much for sharing - this is now my favorite thing i've ever crocheted (and i've been crocheting for years and years!). :)
Awesome to hear, thank you for the kind comment! :)
I have a unique yarn I got from some old lady, and I ran out of it halfway through the project so I don't think I'll finish it 🥲👍
Thanks for the tutorial though! Your voice is soothing and the tutorial framing is done well 🩵🩵🩵
Yayyyyy so happy you made this :)
Glad someone will enjoy it :)
You do a very good clear slow enough to follow thank you very much
Thank you for watching :)
This is was such a good video!!!! Thank you 😊
thank you so much, I just finished mine and I understod everything
I'm glad I could help :)
this is such a great tutorial 🥰 tysm!! my little bear themed balaclava turned out great
Aw that sounds so cute! Glad you enjoyed :)
Just finished mine!! Thank you so much for this tutorial. Took me 3 days of active crocheting (I had NEVER knitted with crochet needles before) and some creative liberties so it was a bit looser than the original one. Overall pretty good!! I want another one but i have to let my fingers rest ajsjs
Thank you for watching :) yes, give yourself some rest lol
Really clear tutorial! Thank you (:
El mejor tutoría que he visto hasta ahora, aún que mi inglés no es muy bueno, la chica lo explica muy bien además de que el ejemplo visual lo hace muuuuuucho más fácil, sin duda me salvo la vida 💗💗💗
Muchas gracias
Thank you so so so much for your tutorial!❤
thank you for watching :)
Your tutorial is clear, to the point and made easy to understand. Thank you so much for sharing. Although gutted you don’t want to wear your egg ! 😅 This has definitely upped my crocheting skills and helped me understand what I’m doing better. If other people want a baggier look- i used a 10 mm crochet hook with some chunkier wool following the same as above- worked out perfect! ❤ from the cold side of the world x
Haha! Well, I'm glad this helped you and thank you for sharing your tip
Awesome video! Really easy to understand and to follow ! I feel like you : not gonna wear it outside because I look like an egg but definitely gonna make one for my baby girl ! Thank you 🥰
haha this would look adorable on a baby girl :)
Very clear to understand thank you very much 🔥
Very glad to help! :)
Thank you for this tutorial! Did it in a 4h (?) sitting ❤️
It's definitely a quick project !
super good tut! thank you
thank you!

Glad to hear!
Creo que lo intentaré!! Pronto va a llegar el invierno. 🌧💘

Merci j'adore ta façon claire d'expliquer!
Merci d'avoir regardé!
i always love your videos, they're so beginner friendly. can u also pls make a tutorial on how to crochet flowers like sunflower or tulips or whatever. 🤧🧡
that's a great idea!
Thank you for this video it was soooo helpful 🙏🏽🤍
Thank you for watching! :)
I dont usually comment on crochet tutorials(I do give likes tho),but this video teaching is Excellent.I followed along easily with every step,Ive tried other balaclava videos and gave up for various reasons and I finally found yours and was able to follow thru!Almost done.Im making a Mom/daughter set for my daughter and grand daugter so I will have to figure out how to shrink the pattern down to a 4 yr old size head.TY!
I'm glad this video helped you! This could be a resource to help you with sizing the balaclava for your 4-year-old granddaughter: www.craftyarncouncil.com/standards/head-circumference-chart
OK thank you!@@brittanyalicecrochet
thank you so much for this video!
Thank you for watching :)

BEST TUTORIAL EVER.
THANK YOU

Thank you for watching :)
First Class Balaclava Tutorial 👍🏼🇬🇧🤗
Thanks very much! :)
hiiii this tutorial is wonderful!! i have a quick question though- if after part 1 it doesnt cover the entirety of the head like it should, should I just continue w the 54 stitches and hdc in each w sl and ch1 each row until its the right size?
I dont write comment well generally but this video is so helpful! Thanks for your descriptive video
thank you so much for watching! :)
Hi ! Thank you for the tutorial it's great and very understandable ! However i did it too big, is there a way to fix it without having to restart all of it from the beginning ? thank you from France ! xxx
Beautiful and easy❤🇬🇧🌹🌺
thank you!
Loved your tutorial! You know if I can use like a plushie yarn instead?
I’m thankful for how careful you are with showing the instructions,, I hope when I make this it comes out okay
I’m sure it will! Thank you :)
I mad ethic for my dog but added ear holes and stuff! It came out AMAZING, THANK U FOR THIS TUT!! (p.s I'm a beginner and this helped so much!)
I meant "I made this for my dog" 🤕
that's so cute! glad it helped :)
How would you make is looser ? Would you start with more stitches on the magic circle ?
Hey, love the Tutorial!! I have a question, if i have a smaller size of the yarn, do i have to make more stitches at the beginning of the magic Circle? I dont want it to turn extra small!! Thanks!❤
Your explaination on how to attach the neck ribbin to the hat as you go along was so clear and easy to understand, thank you! I was thinking I'd have to make it a a separate pieace and saw it lol
I want to combine this with a patern for a crochet cape I saw earlier and make a little My Melody/Kuromi cloak thingy
I'm glad that it helped you! Good luck with your cloak :)
Just finished this and it turned out SO cute!!! Thank you so much for this amazing video!!!!
Do you think it’d turn out well with a size 6 yarn??
Thank you for watching :) I think it’d turn out great with chunkier yarn!
I give her 100percent. So easy . Thks from 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💯👍
Thank you!!
Awesome video !!
Thank you for watching!
love this tutorial so far! I was wondering what I should do if I am using a smaller yarn and the circle doesn't cover the top of my head completely?
Just continue with the pattern until your head is covered! I show you how to adjust the pattern in the video :)
I just started crocheting about a month ago and this tutorial was SO comprehensive. thank you so so much!! I'm so happy with how mine turned out
i'm so glad it was helpful! :)
