Bowie Balaclava

Turn heads and keep them warm. The Bowie Balaclava is not your average winter essential — it’s a statement piece with attitude. Designed for the days you want to be cozy but still make people wonder if you’re on your way to band rehearsal or a fashion week street style shoot.

The mix of stripes, color blocking, and sparkling buttons gives it just the right balance of glam and playful rebellion. Wear it up as a full balaclava or folded down as a neckwarmer — either way, you’re serving looks and warmth.

About the pattern

#BOWIEBALACLAVA is knitted top-down. The base is worked in stockinette stitch before a double-knitted face edging is added, followed by a double-knitted neck section with a closing front flap.
