Balaclava DIY 12 sizes | How to sew the Comfort Hood, Detachable Hood, Hooded Neck Warmer

I wanted to make a balaclava for winter and this sewing project turned into this hood integrating a high collar, and what pretty much looks like a breast plate. Ditch your beanie and your scarf, this winter project is all in one (and a lovely idea for a DIY Xmas present).

12 sizes from 3 years old til 4XL (I wear M).

You can take any fabric (sweat, velvet, padded, fleece, jean, knit...) but if you want to do method 2-burrito (13:22) you MUST pick them stretchy. More info on supplied and yardage in the pattern file.
