Fluffy Winter Balaclava is a children's balaclava in Stitch pattern worked with three Strands together throughout. The three Strands make it a warm and lofty winter garment (and a quick knit!), with all the Softness and fluffiness of mohair. Work begins in the round at the collar, and short row shaping at the ribbed neckband ensures the perfect fit. The head is worked back and forth, and grafted together with Kitchener stitch. Stitches are then picked up around the face to create a ribbed faceband.
