    Great project, looks not too complicated. I was thinking that maybe a few decreases in the ribbing around the face opening would help hold it more securely to your face. Also, it struck me when you said about it looking medieval that using a silver metallic yarn would be great for cosplay or LARPing costumes to create a piece of "chain mail" for the head.

    LOL, I think you look good in your Balaclava. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am just finishing a sweater and I think I will just manage to knit your balaclava out of the rest I think I will have left. Much love from New Zealand.

    wondering roughly how many rows you have between when you take off the 16 stitches for the chin and then cast back on 16 stitches at the top? or did you measure another way..? thank you this vid is so awesome and clear! : )

    Hi. My nephew (10 yrs), has been asking me for a while now to knit him a balaclava/ski mask. I have now found your tutorial, and have gone through all your tutorials to try and find this, but no joy. The only thing is, I'm not sure on how many stitches to cast on/put on hold/pick up etc., if you could help or do a tutorial for children's sizes, that would be awesome. Thank you
