{"product_id":"mio-balaclava-knitting-pattern","title":"Mio Balaclava – Knitting Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mio Balaclava is a cozy baby balaclava, knitted in seed stitch with a ribbed band at the face opening and neck. It wraps gently around your little one's head and protects them from cold and wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe balaclava is worked in two parts. First, a rectangle is knitted flat in seed stitch, forming the main hood. The face opening is worked in the round in 1x1 ribbing and finished with an Italian bind-off. After sewing the back of the head, stitches are picked up along the neck opening and a short ribbed neckband is shaped with short rows – finished off with a delicate ruffle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern includes supporting graphs and video tutorials for key techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechniques Used\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCast-on, seed stitch, 1x1 ribbing, backward-loop cast-on, Italian bind-off, picking up stitches, short rows, ruffle edge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e★★☆☆☆\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3–6 m (6–12 m) 12–24 m — fits head circumference approx. 38–40 (41–44) 45–48 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHuanaco – Merino de la Patagonia, Top Lana Superfina (400 m \/ 100 g), held double: 50 (50) 100 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlternative yarns (held double):\u003cbr\u003eDROPS Merino Extra Fine (105 m \/ 50 g): 100 (100) 150 g\u003cbr\u003eElisa Merino 120 (120 m \/ 50 g): 70 (100) 100 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e17 sts × 34 rows = 10 × 10 cm in seed stitch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3.5 mm circular needles (40 cm)\u003cbr\u003e3.0 mm circular needles (40 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStitch markers, tapestry needle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have any questions please contact me on Instagram \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/slow.stitch_\"\u003e@slow.stitch_\u003c\/a\u003e or via mail \u003ca href=\"mailto:hello@slowstitch.de\"\u003ehello@slowstitch.de\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeel free to share your version of the Mio Balaclava on Instagram using #miobalaclava @slow.stitch_ ✨\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHappy knitting! :) and thank you so much for using my pattern.
