Notes: Mask is worked in the round. Do not turn for each round. Weave in ends as you work.

I wanted to use materials I already had. For the eyes I used pipe cleaners to help the mask keep shape (I only had bright neons, but you might want to go for black if possible). For the yarn I already had Red Heart Super Saver in black in my stash, plus bright colors by Crafter’s Secret (a Hobby Lobby brand). I had a lot of scrap white yarn, but I don’t know what brand. All of the yarn is size 4 worsted weight acrylic.

The strap is just a crocheted chain and works well to keep the mask on, but you can make it thicker by crocheting back along the chain, or attaching elastic instead.
