Hilly Hood balaclava by Anne Ventzel, No 2 + silk mohair knitting kit

Knitting kit for the lovely Hilly Hood balaclava by Anne Ventzel, knit in Isager Jensen Yarn and Önling No 10 Silk mohair.

Hilly Hood has a roomy fit and is worked from the top down in broken rib. First a square is worked for the top of the hood. Then stitches are picked up and knitted along the sides of the square and the sides are worked down from here, while increases and decreases are worked across the back of the hood. The stitches are joined in the round under the chin and the neck is worked in the round until the back stitches are bound off using the Italian bind off technique. The front stitches are then worked back and forth until these are also bound off using the Italian bind off technique. At the end stitches are picked up around the face opening and a rib edge is worked. Hilly Hood is originally knit with Isager Jensen Yarn, but here we knit with Önling No 2 merino wool for at super soft version.

Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
