  • KISS Kids Balaclava Pattern

    This PDF pattern is provided courtesy of KAOS Yarns for you to use with their delectable yarns.

    KISS KIDS BALACLAVA is a super simple beginners’ pattern with no difficult techniques and with lots of opportunity to play with colours.

    KISS is short for “Keep It Simple, Stupid”. It reminds us to not get lost in complicated rules or unimportant details. The idea with KISS is that knitting should be easy. When you feel comfortable knitting, it gives you the courage to add your personal touch.

    You can knit stripes or several different colours together to create a marled look. There are no rules and no wrong way to do it.
