Balaclava – Burgundy & Pink

A flower folded into every wine-dark square. Deep burgundy might have been severe on its own; the cream and soft-pink centres open it up, like roses pressed between the pages of a heavy book. A thin olive line traces the face, the faintest hint of leaf. Wear this balaclava up over the ears on a sharp evening, or ease it back off the face when you step into the warmth of somewhere good. The fit is close and covers crown, ears and chin in one clean piece. Crocheted by hand, a square at a time, so the flowers settle slightly out of step.
