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!

This looks cute! Though I have to be honest… when I saw the finished picture of it, my first thought was that it’s a knitted version of a chainmail coif…

LOL – it definitely looks like that! You could do it in a silvery yarn to enhance that look 🙂
