Bayou Frost Hooded Balaclava Sewing Pattern PDF | XS-XL Fleece Sherpa Drawcord Hood

Bayou Frost Hooded Balaclava Sewing Pattern

Walker Design · Edition 1 · November 2026

A cozy, wind-blocking hood in the classic ready-to-wear style: a two-piece fleece hood fully lined in sherpa, a separate shaped face mask, and a wide neck with a drawcord channel and cord lock that cinches the flared bib snug under the chin. The mask ends tuck behind the hood edge at the sides so you can wear it up over the nose or push it down under the chin.

Features

• Two-piece hood with center seam over the crown

• Sherpa lining frames the face and lines the whole hood and bib

• Separate face mask with shaped center-front seam (fleece on both layers); ends tuck 1″ behind the hood edge

• Pull-on neck — no zipper. Wide enough to pull over the head, then cinched with the drawcord

• Flared bib covers the neck and the top of the shoulders and chest

• Center-front seam from throat to hem

• Center-back seam from crown to hem
