Let's Twist Again Balaclava Knitting Pattern (English)
The Let’s Twist Again Balaclava features cables and double-knitted edges. The top of the balaclava is worked back and forth with cables following the chart. Stitches are then picked up along each side where short rows are used to shape the rounded crown. Work continues back and forth down the sides. At the bottom, the work is joined with a backward-loop cast-on, and the neck is worked in the round. A double-knitted edge is worked at the hem as well as around the face opening, where eyelets for a drawstring are incorporated. The drawstring is worked as an i-cord by hand or on a knitting dolly.
