This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to knit your own hood-and-cowl combo, which is perfect for keeping cosy in the cold weather!
It's a good project for keen beginners because it basically is just 2 rectangles that you seam together. The patterns are garter stitch and stockinette stitch, and I'll show you how to do the cable cast on and the mattress stitch too.
I hope you enjoy the project :)
Note: I'm using size 6 mm circular needles & James C Brett ‘Marble Chunky’ acrylic yarn (code MC08) for this balaclava. I used 155g overall.
