    So happy seeing adults using/knitting balaclavas. Since my kids were born i have knitted them every winter new animal themed ones, my son likes fox and for my daughter a deere one. People always compliments their cute ears 😄

    using the scrap yarn to make it multicoloured was such a good choice! it looks super cute!

    I am a super beginner and I made this in 3 days! So happy to learn so many basic techniques (adding stitches, rib stitch, in the round, i cord etc.), and over the moon with how it turned out. Needed to find other tutorials about super basics for each (e.g. binding off i cord) but just wanted to say thanks!

      this comment gave me the courage to start! I didn't really understand how she seemed to have boound off (without binding off) the top of the head piece, though, so if you know how she did that i'd be very happy to know. Now i just bound it off and picked up stitches everywhere, whereas she seemed to have been able to use the stitches she had on the separate needle (?) anywho, great tutorial so far

    Love this!! I haven't even watched the video yet. All I saw while scrolling were the pics and I was immediately hooked😅. It's the fact that it looks like it'll fit comfortably, and bonus!!, no sharp peaky back end. Just smoothly following the shape of the head. Oh, I am going to have so much fun with this, thank you!❤😁

    I will absolutely be giving this a go! I've been thinking about making a balaclava/hood like this for ages, but somehow couldn't wrap my mind around this type of construction, which is also my favourite type of construction. Thank you for setting it out so simply, and I am way less intimidated now. Time to go stash diving!

    I had no idea these were trendy again :) I have pattern books from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s that include balaclavas. Yours looks stunning on you! One suggestion - instead of having the neck ribbing as one solid piece around, make it open with a few extra stitches and button hole. The button goes below and between the ear and front centre, or wherever you want it to be. That way, you don't have to pull the entire piece over your head (and hair!) to put it on or take it off. I love the way you finished it off! Way cool lady!

    @helenorvana 2 года назад +11

    My main issue with balaclavas is the same as with scarves - having something up against my neck is really uncomfortable. That being said, that looks really nice, and makes me tempted even if I doubt I'd get much use 😅

    The balaclava turned out so nice! 😍I've been umming and ahhing whether to knit one up too. Maybe I'll just have to give it a shot! I thought it was interesting to use K2tog through the back look rather than the front loop, when you do the icord. Does this give a different effect?

    • @WellLovedKnits
      @WellLovedKnits  2 года назад +4

      Oh funny! I never tried it the other way. I figured working through the back loop was what helped the curl of the cord

    • @AlyssaL
      @AlyssaL Год назад

      I justtt made a balaclava using this video and accidentally k2tog through the front loop - it made these unintended "stitch-like" loops that are visible in the front!

Love this tutorial as much as the others (I'm currently waiting for some skeins to be delivered in order to start your Sable Sweater) 🤩 Do you think you will make a tutorial for socks with circular needles in the future? I'm still a beginner, but I've watched you doing them and I'm veeeeery tempted! 🤓
