Hi all! Kristina here. I made this balaclava for my hubby. Isn't he a cutie, don't answer that, haha. I don't make balaclavas for everyone so I wanted to be able to share the PDF pattern with you so you could make your own. It can me a riding mask, ski mask, ninja mask, whatever you want to call it. This is great for wearing on a cold day to keep your face warm and extends long enough to keep your neck warm as well, the nature of crocheted work makes it easy to breathe while still being exceptionally warm. It is also a wind blocker making this item great for riding. Also makes a great ninja mask for costuming, woohoo.

It took 160 yards of yarn, I used a cotton yarn but you could use any weight 4 yarn.
H hook or whichever hook you need to get the gauge
Plastic needle for tucking in the tails


I made sure they were easy to read instructions, if you can SC then you can make this item. I did work in the round and did some increasing. I tried to make this more than just a pattern I also explain to you how to make it in your own size; it is easily customize-able, you can change the color, add stripes, a trim, heck add a mohawk if you'd like.
