Lol I know I haven't been crocheting super long but I thought I was missing out on some special yarn. Thanks for the explanation.
I have never seen anyone hold the yarn and hook the way you do. It’s so cool lol

What a great pattern to follow. I am so glad that you didn’t explain how to crochet I love how you would state how many stitches was needed then show a quick example and would cut to the next stitch. Very successful project. Took me two days. Love. Love. Love!

Hi! Loved your video! Very easy to follow and fun to make! I followed your other tutorial and was able to make the ears as well! I was wondering if you have a video showing how/where to attach the ears?
thank you so much for the video! I'm going to use the skull to make into a wolf mask! I saw your video and was very impressed.
Я в восторге!) Надеюсь дойдут руки и я воспользуюсь вашем туториалом)
I WILL MAKE THIS I NEED TO HAVE MASKS. ive been looking all over the place for crochet actual masks to cover my whole face in a cool way, thank you so much. Ill try to make some type of monster mask with crochet teeth or something.
Thank you for sharing this. Super cool. You, and this design ! Thank you thank you for not being a gatekeeper xox
Great tutorial! Thank you.
Love it,relly love it and makes an elite lifter like me get into crochet becouse i just love the skull balaclava design!
So I’ve been following this video and learned my head size required a few more stitches than yours so for anyone with big hair and huge eyes shoot for 64 stitches! And I made the eye holes 10 stitches long but put them into the eighth stitch around. This achieved the same look and I love it!
Omj I love this thank u so much for doing this tutorial. ❤❤

Howdy! not using your tutorial, but I am making balaclavas for a punk show I'm vending at; I kind of free handed my ish. I saw the yarn in your video and was desperate to see where you found it.

I can’t find the same exact yarn nowhere 😢 there’s another same size yarn you guys can recommend me?
I bought the pattern and couldn't figure out why I wasn't hitting gauge, even with an 8mm hook, until I came to the video. That yarn is more like a 5 weight in acrylic, which explains things for me lol!

sorry for the confusion! I was going off what the manufacturer said for the yarn, unfortunately yarn weight isn’t very standardized. In the future you can always double up your yarn :)
How much time did it took you to make it?

I used Fleece Artist Wonder Woolen with a 4mm hook, it’s in the description:) If yours is smaller I suggest making your starting circle another row larger, or going up a hook size or doubling up your yarn so it’s thicker. Always a gauge swatch first to save yourself some time! (In the video I mention my gauge swatch is 3 dc per inch)
Does anyone know about much yarn the base pattern would use?
Hi! Thank you for the tutorial. Silly question, but does this pattern work for acrylic yarn too if you don’t want to block it.
@alexandria_masse
7 ай бұрын
even if you use acrylic I highly recommend washing it and blocking it, it makes a huge difference in the final product. (I don’t recommend using any plastic yarns for garments worn over the mouth and nose because you risk breathing in micro plastics but that’s just my opinion) :)

How many white balls required to make Snoopy?
Hi!! I bought your pattern and am working on the gauge swatch currently (trying to get it correct before getting too far into it). I was reading a reply you left on a comment about theirs being too small. You said one thing they could do is make their starting circle another row larger. Does this mean to do row 1 and an extra increase row, and then start on row 2, which is another increase row? Sorry for the long question, just a bit confused atm. Update: That didn’t work for me. Should’ve know that wouldn’t work lol. If you see this or if anyone knows, please lmk!! Thanks so much 🥰

Hi Brooke! An easy solution in this situation is adding a 6th row of increases to make the big circle larger before moving on to the rest of the balaclava. You can also add additional rows to the bottom to cover your neck (depending how you like it)
Pls can u share the bunny ears pattern
I'm a bit confuse at the first, when u said crochet dc into the magic circle how much did u mean? Bc u said 12 but looks bigger. Did u crochet 12 in the mc and then add 12 more ?

I just can’t figure it out 😢
I’m a beginner and I’ve looked up a few other balaclava tutorials where the stitch is circled for the top or is started as a rectangle. This method for starting, for whatever reason, whether tightly pulled or looser, my 12 stitches do not look as big as my palm as yours does here. I tried to compromise, by chaining a bit and continued double crocheting, and kept crocheting until it was about palm sized but it ended up looking like a shot glass. I’ve restarted and even put this video (and another) on the slowest speed to make sure I was doing it right. Will the type of yarn make this happen? I’m so confused.

Hi! Sounds like your hook and or yarn is too small. Your initial 12 dc circle should be 2 inches across. I would recommend using a thicker yarn :)

Hi Summer, you need to do a gauge swatch first and make sure that gauge swatch is the same size as mine. There are a few solutions. I would recommend using a thicker yarn or doubling up your yarn and crocheting with 2 strands and going up a hook size. My gauge is 3dc per inch.
I live in the US so I can't buy the yarn you recommended. I have searched for the same kind and the ones I find feel like they are thinner than the one you use. :( They all say medium weight/ worsted but in the video your yarn looks thicker. I'm not sure it will turn out the same.

everyone crochets with a different gauge, yarn and hook size so it’s hard to say. I used about 5oz / 200m for the balaclava part and 1oz for the face
