Monday Balaclava

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

The Monday Balaclava is knitted from the top down in stockinette stitch. First, a square corresponding to the top of the head is knitted. Then, stitches are picked up on each side of this square, and decreases are worked along the face opening. The balaclava is then knitted straight down before finally being joined under the chin and knitted in the round, before being divided into a front and back piece. Finally, a ribbing edge is knitted around the face opening and an i-cord edge along the bottom edge.
