DIY Down Hood Balaclava

[William Vogel]

More DIY Stuff!  I made a down hood with 2″ baffles and about 2oz of stuffing.  Face Drawcord Design with buttons up the neck (like the Nunatak hood).

I really like the design that I found on the internet and the instructions were pretty clear.  It is a great DIY if you want to slowly start getting into clothing.  The patterns are pretty simple to cut.

Here is the link for the pattern:

Here is the reference video by me.  Not too much by way on instruction, but might help a bit:

 

Thanks!
