Face Mask

My Mom and I

Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, I wanted to share my simple face mask pattern. I designed this a couple years ago.  However, the new pattern below has been updated to include a pocket for a filter to be added.

All you need is:
-6.0mm hook
-#4 yarn
-coffee filter
-tapestry needle
-scissors

This project takes less than an hour to make. Simple and quick - my kinda project!!! Make several in a variety of colors to wear when having to leave the home.

U.S. Stitch Abbreviations:

Ch:  chain

St:  stitch(es)

Sl st:  slip stitch

MR:  magic ring

SC:  single crochet

HDC:  half double crochet

BLO:  back loops only

Rep:  repeat

FO:  fasten off

Directions:

1.  Ch21.  HDC in 2nd ch from hook.  *SC in next st.  HDC in next st.*  Repeat from * to * across.  Ch1 and turn.  

2.  HDC in first st.  *SC in the BLO of the next st.  HDC in the BLO of the next st.*  Repeat from the * to the * across working in the BLO.  In the last st, complete stitch in both loops.  Ch1 and turn.

3-10.  Repeat #2.  

Border:

11.  SC in each st around.  Slip stitch join to the first st.  Ch20.  Sl st join to the bottom stitch to create the ear loop.  FO and weave ends.  Attach yarn on the other side of the mask and repeat, making the second ear loop.  FO and weave ends. 

Now, for the filter pocket.  I made a simple circle.
1.  6 SC into MR.  Sl st join to the first st and Ch1.  (6)
2.  2SC in each st around.  Sl st join and Ch1.  (12)
3.  2 SC in first st, 1 SC in next st.  Rep around.  Sl st join and Ch1.  (18)
4.  2 SC in first st, 1 SC in next 2 st.  Rep around.  Sl st join and Ch1.  (24)
5.  2 SC in first st, 1 SC in next 3 st.  Rep around.  Sl st join and FO.  Leave a long tail for attaching.  (30)

To attach:
Place the pocket to the center of the back side of the mask.  Whipstitch around, leaving the top portion open.  FO and secure remaining tail by weaving ends.  See below picture.

To add filter:
I folded the filter in half, then folded horizontally to fit inside the pocket.  See below picture.

And, that completes my simple "Face Mask" project.  If you choose to make this, I'd love to see pictures of your completed masks.  So, be sure to tag me:
