This listing is for the PDF crochet pattern for the Lovers Balaclava, not the physical balaclava itself.

The pattern is written using US crochet terminology, and is most recommended for advanced beginner crocheters +. However, it is a detailed pattern inclusive of both tapestry charts, written instructions, and pictures to help guide you - so if you're a beginner, feel free to give this a try!

This pattern is written to accommodate beginners to tapestry crochet - it includes both tapestry charts and written instructions, so if you can't read off the charts just yet it's not an issue, just follow along with the written instructions. While it would be an advantage to have some experience in changing colours, don't worry too much if you haven't tried it before! The pattern includes a link on how to do so, and if you still feel lost, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Please note that you are not permitted to share any part of the pattern for free or for sale.
Please do not sell physical recreations of this pattern (the balaclava itself).

Finally, I'd like to credit my incredible pattern testers, without whom I absolutely could not have put this pattern out. Please go check out their Instagram pages!
