Balaclava – Burgundy & Mustard

Three colours, and restraint. Large mustard and cream squares sit in a deep burgundy frame, and with so little to distract, you start to see the stitches themselves: the steady clusters, the corners turning, the rounds building outward like rings in a tree. It is a quieter kind of bold, closer to an old book cover than a poster. Wear this balaclava with navy, with tweed, with a long dark coat. The neck section runs deep to keep the throat warm and the face stays open. The squares are crocheted singly, then stitched together into a single hood by hand.
