Yarn kit for the Beate Balaclava Mini by Liv Bjorholm Lyhne.

The luxuriously soft hood keeps little heads warm and snug without slipping. The attached neck collar can be worn under a jacket and keeps you warm like a lovely scarf without getting in the way.

You knit your balaclava seamlessly from the top down using Sunday and Tynn Silk Mohair by Sandnes Garn. Together, the two yarns make the perfect combination: wonderfully soft and cosy, with great stitch definition, while being easy-care, natural and soft. The spikes are made with Tynn Line and look simply fantastic.

Children will love the Dino Balaclava and never want to take it off!
