Seafarer’s Balaclava is finished!

The pattern is Seafarer’s Balaclava by Vanessa Ewing of Cape May Fibers, and the yarn is her Non-Superwash Aran in the Wuss Puss colorway.

This is a quick knit, as you would expect with big yarn and big needles for an accessory. I really like this hood – it is warm and cozy, and the longer collar section protects really well against drafts down the neck of your coat. How does it look on?

OK! I did follow the directions for if you want it more loose and hoody, but it is still tighter than I expected it would be. But that’s OK – it will likely stretch a bit over time, and I think it is still pretty cute.

So if you are looking for a quick hood pattern to make, this is a pretty great option!
