The knitted and crocheted balaclavas here in this gallery are definitely not your average cable knit made with love by grandma, and the people who make these crazy pieces of knitwear clearly don’t take themselves too seriously. That’s kind of refreshing, isn’t it? So join the fun and have a laugh at some of the weirdest things to have ever happened to an innocent ball of yarn!
Knitting and crocheting seem like fun hobbies, and some people are truly talented at creating funky handmade scarves, hats, sweaters, and so on. Yet like all things crafty, there’s always potential to step into the weird territory and create something that is a little less practical than it is hysterical. Case in point; remember these fabulously raunchy crafts from the 1970s? Probably not, but that’s why we are here to remind.
If you enjoyed this gallery and would like to see more weirdness from the 1970s, also check out Ridiculous 1970s Couple Fashion, 1970s Male Underwear Ads, and Album Covers of 1970s Swedish Bands.
These are absolutely hideous! Love it!
Looks like someone predicted the ICP gang. (Insane Clown Posse for those that didn’t know)
People you see night digging, in their backyard with no lights on.
These make me think of African masks and tribal art….
Great no sleep for me tonight 😱
These are terrifying! One guy reminds me of Blindboy Boatclub. And why is that boy poking the bread?
The two kids are hilarious, but I think that last one revealed I might be some kind of fetishist. She’s hot.
I can’t shake the thought of Ralphie in the bunny suit.
Can’t imagine why these didn’t catch on!
Aye chihuahua! They all scare me to death!
The homeknit heisters.
Get it, because most bank robbers are depicted wearing balaclavas?
Love the pets ones . Very creative balaclavas for humans too.
