Make your next winter yarn project a crochet balaclava

We love keeping up with yarn trends – and a crochet balaclava is the latest one to add to our list.

Crafters across the world have been taking to social media to show off their crochet balaclavas – and the results are adorable!

A crochet balaclava is a joined hat and scarf, with a centre cut out in the middle for your face to pop through. It’s perfect to keep you warm on these cold winter days, and looks really stylish, too.

There are so many brilliant crochet balaclava ideas out there. If you’ve recently mastered how to make a crochet granny square, why not stitch them together using mattress stitch to create a cute balaclava.

Or you could work your yarn accessory in granny stripes, one block colour, or experiment with your yarn choice and add some mohair into your project. The options are endless!

We’ve rounded up our favourite crochet balaclavas from crafters across the world to inspire your next yarn project. Prepare to be inspired!

Wondering what to make your crochet balaclava with? Why not pick up a ball of Prima Aran yarn available exclusively at The Works – it’s chunky and cosy, perfect to keep you warm!

Gorgeously green

We love this cute balaclava from @cherilyncrochet on Instagram – the lime green is such a striking colour and will brighten up even the dreariest winter day! The tie at the bottom is a cute final touch, too.

Stitch a scarf and hat

If you’re making a balaclava, why not work it into a scarf too, as demonstrated by @amazingishgrace on Instagram.

Red and pink yarn is one of our favourite colour combinations, and the scarf ends on this balaclava will keep you cosy all winter.

Stylish stripes

Sometimes it pays off to be bold in your colour combinations, like @cosmaudi on Instagram with this stripy crochet balaclava.

The green and beige ribbing really pulls the project together.

Gorgeous granny squares

We love a granny square project – so why not make a balaclava out of granny squares? This lovely piece by @studio__belo on Instagram is just stunning, and the perfect addition to any winter outfit.

Marvellous mohair

Mohair is a great yarn to add to any winter project – it adds texture and cosiness perfect for knitwear.

This crochet balaclava by @droene on Instagram is stitched with mohair and the results are stunning! We love the speckle running through the blue yarn, too.

Pretty in pink

Pink everything has been a huge trend recently, so why not continue it in your crochet projects? This pink balaclava from @honsedesign on Instagram is seriously stylish – we love the extra length allowing for a roll neck bottom, too.

Happy stitching!
