Balaclavas are the latest trend for fall and winter and for good reason! They are beautiful and warm and offer a coziness no hat could ever provide.
They are great pieces to add to all of your cool-weather outfits because they can complement all the colors you’re already wearing. They can also add a pop of color to neutral clothing or a fun and cool pattern.
I love that they don’t take up a lot of space so you can make a lot of them in different colors and with different fits and patterns. They are the best warm accessory to try this season. You should hurry up and make one too!

3. Knit Look Balaclava
Knitting is great, but crocheting is cooler.
It’s faster and easier and more dun.
However, everyone wants a piece that looks like knitting sometimes.
This is the best pattern for that kind of mood. It’s simple, yet stylish and it offers the right amount of warmth.
4. Single Crochet Balaclava
Who doesn’t like adding nice ribbing to their crochet projects?
I love how all you need to do is single crochet, yet you get this contrast between the main part and the ribbing.
5. Basic Balaclava
This is another wonderful take on a simple balaclava fit.
I love the yarn used because it gives the piece a marbled effect.
The ribbing around the face is beautiful too. I can’t wait to make one myself.
6. Checkered Balaclava
The checkered pattern is one of the most fun patterns to crochet.
All you need to do is change the yarn every few stitches.
You can do it without cutting the yarn by holding it on top of the previous row before making the next stitch.
I love the original design with only one checkered row but it would look amazing with checkers all over too.

Get those hooks ready and let your inspiration flow, because this is going to be your next favorite clothing item you crochet.
9. Old Memories Balaclava
I love the looser fit of this balaclava.
It is a great pattern to follow, whether you make the body of the balaclava with granny squares or not.
Sometimes you just need something that adds warmth in a non-constricting way.
10. Granny Square Only Balaclava
I love the two-color granny square look because it is simple and stylish.
It will complement every outfit you want to wear this season.
Another fun idea would be making every granny square a different color.
11. Helmet Balaclava
This balaclava is the best for windy days.
I love how it doubles as a scarf and a hat all at once.
The button is a beautiful accessory to this piece.

You’ll keep your stylish outfit and the cozy, warm feeling you need.

It is a small thing that sets it apart from all the other ones and it complements minimalist, elegant styles effortlessly.

This balaclava has a drawstring and ribbing, what more could you wish for?
It is a beautiful crochet project I could see paired with a sporty outfit. Maybe wear it on your way to and from the gym.

It is great for a costume party, and easy to put on and off.
