At first I made a couple of the flat-style two-button mask ear savers, which were fine for my masks with skinny elastic straps, but my masks with wide elastic straps would fall off. This pattern solves that problem!

My sister noticed that these also help give a more snug fit to loose masks.

I followed the basic construction of the strap, but used one row of linked double crochet instead of the first two rows of single crochet. I worked a regular sc row for the edge instead of the knit stitches, except for #4 (worsted weight) where I left it off.
