Pattern instructions
INFO AND TIPS
The Esmeralda Balaclava is made up of a main part with matching rib edging and neck rib
edging.
When changing colors, it can in some places be an advantage to keep the previous color under
the new color while working. However, this is not a must.
Note that the 1st dc at the beginning of a row is replaced with a ch 2.
MAIN PART
Chain 20 (25) 30.
Rows 1-10: *Start with a ch 2 and work 1 dc in ns. 1 dc in each st* x10. Break off the yarn.
(The charts below show when to change colors)

Start with a ch 2 in the first st on the first row on the square. 1 dc in each st along 3 of the
sides around the square. (On sides 1 and 3 where the dc are turned sideways, insert the
hook in between the dc itself. Do this twice per dc) Change direction when you have worked
the last side. *
Repeat from * to * for 20 rows.
Ch 2 to start row 21. 1 dc. *2 dc in 1 st*x2. 1 dc in each st until you have 3 sts left. *2 dc in 1

RIB EDGING
With Powder Blue (20) chain 7 in the before mentioned sl st. Change direction by skipping
the st closest to the hook and work sc in all remaining ch. To attach the rib edging to the

another st and work 1 sl st in ns.
*Turn your work and change direction again. Skip the 2 sl sts and work in the first stitch on
the rib edging. Sc in the back loop of the stitches until and including the penultimate stitch.
Sc through both loops of the last stitch. Ch 1, turn and change direction. Insert the hook in
the 2nd st from the hook in the back loop and continue with sc in each st. Attach the rib
edging to the edge of the main part in the same way as before. *
Repeat from * to * all around the main part.
To attach the ends of the rib edging, turn the work inside out. Insert the hook in the st on
the opposite side and make a sl st. *
Repeat from * to * up the entire row.
