Yarn package for the November Balaclava by PetiteKnit.

The November Balaclava is knitted from the top down in half brioche stitch. This makes it cozy and warm while protecting your head. It has a small collar at the bottom to keep your neck warm too.

The combination of Peer Gynt and Tynn Silk Mohair is truly beautiful and extremely durable. The yarn becomes softer with wear. Even if you find Peer Gynt too bulky, you will love it in combination with Tynn Silk Mohair! Be sure to try it!

The balaclava has a feminine fit, and although it covers the ears, it does not extend particularly far onto the face. Note that the stated measurements apply after washing. The balaclava must be washed before use and may grow further because of the half brioche stitch pattern. 

Remember to always knit a gauge swatch first.
