The balaclava is worked top-down in double ribbing. First, a rectangular top piece is knitted, then sts are picked up along the sides, and the hat itself is shaped through increases and decreases. Then work is joined and knitted in the round until it is divided again for the front and back pieces, which are worked separately. Finally, sts are picked up along the face opening, and the edge is knitted in single ribbing. Gug Church in Aalborg and its massive concrete facade is a great example of modern Danish church architecture. It was designed by architects Inger and Johannes Exner in 1971. This balaclava is a cosy and warm rib knit beanie. The structure and colour are inspired by the concrete facade of Gug Church. When the baby is put down for a nap in the pram outside, a Nordic tradition, it’s important to keep the baby warm, making this knitted balaclava in soft yarns indispensable.
