#KnittingTutorial #Balaclava #SkiMask #FreePattern #FreeTutorial

In this video, Madeline from Knitting House Square shows step-by-step how to knit a ski mask! This free pattern is knit flat (not in the round), then seamed up the side. The steps shown in the video include the cast on, ribbing pattern, casting off for the ski mask opening, casting back on after the opening, decreasing, and seaming using mattress stitch. The free pattern is available in two sizes and is linked below!

Note this project is knit flat, so it can be knit on circular or straight knitting needles. I would recommend a circular knitting needle (at least 24" in length)because there are a lot of stitches for this project that may not necessarily fit on straight knitting needles.
