Girlie Ninja Mask

I am really pleased that I have finished my first ski/ninja mask.  Here are some pictures of it in action:




In all honestly it is too big for her.  I like to always tell myself better a bit too big than a bit too small, so I'm losing any sleep over it.  I haven't washed it yet, and I'm hoping (in vain probably) it will tighten up a bit.  The gussets could be better too, but for a first attempt I'm pleased.

Here's the info:
Pattern: Wee balaclava
Wool: the pinks are both Wendy Mode Chunky, 50% merino 50% acrylic.  The cream wool is Lion Brand Wool-Ease, 20% wool, 80% acrylic.
What I learned: the provisional crochet cast on.  It was awesome!  I can see a lot of uses for this, so I'm pretty pleased.

    I love it! With the weather turning colder, it's time to think of winter wear like this. I will have to show my daughter...I think it's a great knit.

    Happy I Love Yarn Day!

    It looks so cute! Like you say, better a little too big than too small, just means she'll get more use out of it!

    Did you plan for the purple in the hat to correspond with her ski jacket? It's very cute. I think Tech Knitter has some tips for fixing up a hat that's too big on her website!
