So thankful for this tutorial! This is my first ever crochet project, didn’t practice anything but loops beforehand just jumped straight in. Had to redo the first few rounds about 5 times lol and it all took me 2 days but it’s come out looking perfect. So proud of myself!!! Thank you!

Great job! First project and left-handed?!!! You're really a talented!!! 😮🧶🧶

My husband started looking on line for one of these and I said I wanted to make one. I made it in a few hours and it fits perfectly! He absolutely loves it. I learned many new things watching this video. Thank you. You are a great instructor!

[@ABoCStudio]

That is awesome! Thank you for this feedback I appreciate it 💞💞💞

[@nova4476]

I wanted to crochet a balaclava and almost gave up because other tutorials were so confusing but this one was easy even as a beginner!! Also, for anyone wondering, I made this with a Loops & Threads 4.5 ounce weight 4 yarn and still had some left over! I thought I was going to need a lot more yarn but I didn’t.

[@ABoCStudio]

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing details 🥰🥰🥰

This is the best, easiest tutorial I have found yet, just started crocheting a few mths ago. I'll be finished with it tomorrow literally only took a few hrs. THANKS 😊

I’m far from a beginner but was unhappy with other similar patterns. This is by far the best looking. It’s nice that you give such good quality tutorials to beginners

[@TheAjrocks6]

Being a leftie beginner, I found this tutorial super easy to follow! Like all of your other vids!

[@wheezyhutjr]

absolutely love this tutorial!! very detailed!! I'd say I'm a beginner to intermediate and also left-handed, I was able to follow this tutorial with ease! the most difficult part was the ribbing. I accidentally did a couple 3 and even one 4 instead of the 2 front and back stitching, but you don't really notice it unless you're looking for it. gonna start the bunny ears!!

[@ABoCStudio]

Ohhh im soo glad to know 💗💗💗 i sometimes mess up the ribbing like that too 🤣🤣🤣 but i think its cool adding some extra special handcrafted spirit to it✨🧶 💞

[@josephsirimarco6079]

i got all the way past the double crochet part and then messed up my whole piece and gave up but ended up redoing it and the finished product is amazing. adding horns and loose thread as hair and then i’ll be done thank you for the video!!!!

Amazing!!! I’m so glad you had a good time crocheting 💞💞💞

[@bobr2837]

This is my first time trying crochet and your tutorial is lovely! So easy to follow and I'm finished in 3 days!! I am starting over again because I couldn't measure my head and had to wing it and unfortunately it was too small 💀. It was easy to undo it. My first try was a little wonky at the start so now I can make a better one haha. I really enjoyed this :) Update: I finished my second attempt and medium fits perfect! It looks great I truly love it :D Next are the ears!!!!!

[@valvalrookie]

For someone with a basic level of English like me, this tutorial was easy to follow. I started crocheting with your cat hat video and this will be the third project I've done. You explain it in such a simple way and with such patience that it is somewhat ironic that the videos in my language are more difficult to understand.

[@fans1949]

I love your crochet channel you’re very precise step-by-step you tell us the name of the material yarn and hook size. is very telling us how many stitches your chart you made is wonderful. Very clear exactly the name of each stitch you use you shows from the beginning to the end of the road italicize exactly how many stitches we should have I think you’re a great teacher and I love your patterns. I’ve been crocheting a long time but I love to see Young people teaching and Keeping the art of Crochet going to the next level of designing and creating. Thank you so much.

[@ABoCStudio]

I too hope she will 💞 and also hope you have fun crocheting 🧶

[@KTCC13]

After making 4 of these I’ve come to the conclusion that I love this design but the neck part should be longer or shorter depending on the person wearing it. 11 rows is too short for me and my 13 y/o son and my 16 y/o sister but wayyyy too long for my 4 y/o daughter so I suggest measuring it as you’re making it for yourself by putting it on and by measuring the neck of whom ever you’re making it for if you desire it to sit the way it does on the person making this tutorial 😊

Amazing tip! Thank you so much💞

[@ABoCStudio]

Thank you sm friend 🥰 your words mean alot to me 💗💗💗

[@lynnaxoxo]

I had a couple friends’ measurements not be on the chart (bigger than what’s listed) so I’ve figured out through trial and error that you can make the length of your whole chain 4 inches shorter than the head measurement instead of counting each one :-)

Yessss, smart move girl!!!!✨✨💗💗💗💗

I made it with fuzzy yarn (I feel dumb for not realize sooner that it would make my piece sm bigger than hers) 😭 so my big brain solution is that this ski mask will actually be a ski mask since it’ll fit over my helmet and the goggles will fit through the hole eye 🤭 it’s so soft! I’ll be so warm. Amazing tutorial! Anyone can make this.

You have the best tutorials!!! So thorough and clear for us to understand!!! My project came out great! However, once I was done, I noticed the ribbing for the turtleneck area is not long enough for me. Is there a way I can add a few more rows to the bottom after the project is done? Thank you in advance!!!!

[@ABoCStudio]

Hi💞 thank you so much!!! And yes you can definitely make the neck longer by working into the bottom line which is the foundation chain, just use the same ribbing stitches! I do that all the time 😉

[@Sammy_Sosa32]

@ABoCStudio so good to hear! since I'm working off the foundation chain, would I have to do a row of DC first? I can't start off doing the front post and back post, right? If you already have a video showing you doing this, may I have the link? I can just watch that & and I wouldn't have to bother you anymore lol

[@ABoCStudio]

You can definitely still do the bp/fpDc based on the stitches of the first row. Attach the yarn right where the slip-knot is, chain 2, then you'll see the bp/fp stitches and follow them n do the exact same thing you did for the ribbing. Unfortunately, I don't have a video for this, but I here to help💞No biggie💕

Just finished my first balaclava thanks to you 😌 I’m going to attempt one with a thicker wool, what do you suggest size wise?

[@ABoCStudio]

Ohhh thats so exciting🤩, how thick is the wool? Cus if it's just 1 category bigger and we using the same hook size then the sizing wouldn't have to be different 🧶 but if its much thinker then you can use the "try-on chain" method: after you make a number of chain, you hold on to 2 ends n strech the chain out, then wrap it around your head (around forehead and under ears to the back of the head)--> the strech-outed chain should just a lilttle bit bigger than your head (1,5-2inches bigger)💗

hi! i love this pattern and the tutorial seems very easy to follow. i was hoping to make an open-face balaclava for my bf (where it shows his face from the chin up) and was wondering at what point i do you think i should start the opening, and if it should just be the same width as the eye hole would be. thank you!

[@ABoCStudio]

Hi 💞 tysm. I would say that it should got somewhat above the 👄 under nose and skip more sts for the slit so that the slit large enough to fall down the 👄. It would be great if you know how to work in the flat surface (not in rounds) for a couple of rows until it reaches above the eyes then create chains to join in round again, doing so you don't have to open the slit too much!
