Yarn kit for Balaclava No 2 by My Favourite Things Knitwear in Önling No 1 + 10 (excl pattern)
The clever combination of hat and collar keeps both neck and head warm, while looking super chic. Balaclava No. 2 is worked top down in a delicate and classic cabled pattern.
We knit Balaclava No 2 in a wonderful combination of Önling No 1, our merino and angora wool, held together with silk mohair. The result is an ultimatively soft and warm balaclava, perfect for the cold months.
PLEASE NOTE:
- This kit does not include a pattern. You can buy the pattern at My Favourite Things Knitwear
- The model shown in the pictures on this page are designers own and NOT worked in Önling yarns.
The yarn kit contains: Önling No 1 and silk mohair for the chosen color, no pattern.

Suggested needles:
4.5 mm [US 7] circular needles (40 and 60 or 80 cm [16 and 24 or 32 inches])
Gauge: In cabled pattern using 4.5 mm [US 7] needles 18 sts / 24 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches]
Note! The cabled pattern expands in wash and use.
The gauge before washing is approx. 21 sts / 25 rows using 4.5 mm [US 7] needles.
It is therefore particularly important to work a swatch and wash it before beginning the work.
The balaclava is as such also washed before use to obtain the right fit.

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- When you buy a kit for ALL designs from PetiteKnit's, you will receive a printed, pattern together with your yarn, as we are unfortunately not allowed to sell Petite Knits' patterns digitally.
- When you buy a kit for a design from selected books (e.g. Helga Isager), you sometimes have to buy the book separately, in cases where the patterns are not released to be sold separately. It will always be clearly described in the product title, with for example "xx kit, excluding pattern", when the pattern is not included.
- All patterns from Isager are delivered as a printed pattern, as we do not have access to sell these digitally. You will receive your pattern along with your yarn shipment.
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.
