Super quick Cotton stash buster project to protect ears from the elastic on surgical masks. Also they help the masks fit tighter on smaller heads. They are made with 100% cotton so they can withstand hot water washing for disinfecting.

EDIT: After the explosion from my original Mask Mates pattern died down I decided to create an extended version. This version is the same general idea as the original version, with just some minor tweaks to make it larger. When it comes to crocheting, simple things like changing hook size and tension can make a big impact on the final size of what you are creating. Finished Measurement should be approximately 1¾” X 5½” with this version of the pattern. You can find the Free Download here.
