2 in 1 Balaclava
Printable PDF crochet pattern.
CROCHET PATTERN: Explore the versatility of a 2 in 1 balaclava pattern, designed for dual functionality. Easily switch between a ribbed face covering and a snug hat with a simple roll-up feature. The hat portion is crafted using a slightly modified single crochet stitch, resulting in a dense, knit-like texture for enhanced warmth. Meanwhile, the ribbed face covering offers a perfect balance of breathability and stretch. Experience comfort and convenience with this innovative design.

For the best results, yarn choice is key. Opt for soft, natural fibers like fine micron merino wool, alpaca, or soft wool blends with a bit of stretch, such as bamboo or nylon. These options will keep the brim flexible and easy to roll up, while staying warm and comfortable.

super easy to follow, making this for a friend and he's going to love it!
Pattern is easy to read and the pdf was well designed. Def worth the money
Such a great pattern ! I made one for my husband for hunting and I’m currently making some for my kids. The only part I don’t love is the puff stitches in the first round.. when the hat is done it sticks up on top of the head
I made this for my teenage son, it was working up great until I got to the bottom half. It seemed like it was a bit larger on the bottom, I thought it was supposed to be a little fitted around the chin and neck but it looked stretched out. I think I will try this pattern again just to see if I was the problem.
I am happy with the pattern.
