Haft means embroidery in Polish, which is a key feature of this design. This pattern includes a guide on how to use cross stitch on knitwear. The goal is to knit a basic balaclava with not-so-basic finishing touches—creating an everyday accessory that feels personal to you.

4 mm circular needles
3.5 mm circular needles

2.To make a striped hood with a contrasting edge:
approx. 125 m of colour A ( stripe 1 )
approx. 125 m of colour B ( stripe 2 )
