Aura Balaclava Knitting Pattern – Silky, Breathable Autumn Hat for Children

The Aura Balaclava is a cozy, lightweight hood designed for those in-between days — when the air feels crisp but winter hasn't quite arrived. With a snug ribbed faceband, smooth crown shaping, and flared front and back flaps, it tucks neatly under a coat to keep little explorers warm on breezy autumn walks.
