This pattern creates a cozy and stylish oversized balaclava with cute pink hearts scattered throughout. It requires 1 skein of mohair yarn (50g, 100m) in purple and 1 skein of wool yarn (50g, 100m) in pink.

Materials:

• 1 skein of mohair yarn (purple, 50g, 100m)

• Knitting needles in 8mm (US 11, UK 0) and 5mm (US 8, UK 6) sizes

Instructions:

1. Using the 8mm needles and purple mohair yarn, cast on 60 stitches.
2. Work in rib stitch (K2, P2) for 4 inches.
3. Switch to the 5mm needles and continue in stockinette stitch until the piece measures 12 inches from the cast on edge.
4. Shape the eye opening by knitting 20 stitches, binding off the center 20 stitches, and then knitting the remaining 20 stitches.
5. Continue on each side, knitting one side at a time and decreasing by 1 stitch on every row until you have 6 stitches left. Bind off.
6. Sew in any loose ends using the tapestry needle.
7. Using the pink wool yarn, embroider small hearts randomly on the balaclava using duplicate stitch.
8. Weave in any ends and block the balaclava to shape.
