Balaclava Hood - Mille Fryd

Sale price35,00 kr

"You can hardly be a knitwear designer these days without a balaclava in your assortment of knitting patterns. I'm no first mover, but here's my take on a balaclava. I've chosen to give it a slightly more boxy look, as I wanted to give it a more hooded look than an elephant hat. That's why it's called the Balaclava Hood!" - Mille Fryd.
The pearl rib together with the yarn gives a dense structure and a soft expression. It ends up being reversible and on the wrong side there is a nice waffled structure. Balaclava Hood is knitted from top to bottom. It takes shape with openings at the top at the back and you can easily try it on if you just want to check the height before continuing with the neck. It ends with a single rib and here I am inspired by both a short neck and a slightly longer neck. Before it is ready to warm you, stitches are picked up along the entire edge and a nice rounded end is knitted with icord.

wash your home knitwear gently with it eucalan

To keep your home knitwear soft, beautiful and durable, hand washing with Eucalan - one is recommended gentle and mild wool soap without rinsing.

HOW TO DO IT:

1. Fill a tub/sink
Use lukewarm water (approx. 30 °C). Add approx. 5 ml (one teaspoon) Eucalan per 4 liters of water.

2. Soak the elastic
Place your knitting needle in the water so that it is completely covered. Let it soak for approx. 15 minutes.

3. Centrifuge or squeeze out the water
Take the knitting out of the water - Eucalan should not be rinsed out, as the wool benefits from the lanolin. Squeeze the water out carefully, without twisting. Spin your knitting at 800-1200 revolutions.
NOTE: You must be sure that your washing machine not takes in cold water during centrifugation. Alternatively, excess water can be gently squeezed out by rolling the elastic in a towel and squeezing gently.

5. Dry flat
Place the elastic in shape (according to the measurements from the recipe) and let it dry lying flat on a towel.
