Balabonnet
We (me and Simone Bergh) created the balabonnet, a hybrid between the popular balaclava and the bonnet. It is knitted from the top down with two strands of yarn for a chunky, playful look. You can choose to knit either a short neck with one bow or a longer neck with two bows. Maybe even add a scarf to it? It’s a good idea to decide this before you start knitting to make sure you have enough yarn!
