Directions

For my mask, I made my first circle and bridge of nose section. I then made my second circle and whipstitched together. I then added the border.

I worked the pattern in the round unless otherwise noted. So, use a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch of each round and move up accordingly.

First Eye

1. With 4.5mm hook, 6 SC into MR. (6)
2. 2 SC in each stitch around. (12)
3. 2 SC in first stitch, 1 SC in next stitch. Rep around. (18)
4. 2 SC in first stitch, 1 SC in next 2 stitches. Rep around. (24)
5. 2 SC in first stitch, 1 SC in next 3 stitches. Rep around. (30)

For a smaller, adult-sized, STOP increase rounds.

For a larger, adult-sized, CONTINUE to make another increase round:

6. 2 SC in first stitch, 1 SC in next 4 stitches. Rep around. Sl st join to first stitch. (36)

Rep steps #1 - 6 of the first eye. Attach the second eye to the opposite end of the Bridge of the Nose. Weave ends.

Border

1. Join yarn in any stitch and Ch1. SC evenly around the first eye, across the bridge, around the second eye, across the bridge and sl st join to the first stitch.
2. 1 SC in each stitch around.

Straps

I joined yarn on each side with a sl st and then Ch51. I sl st in the 2nd ch from the hook and across. Sl st joined to the mask and weaved ends. Rep on opposite side. (Note: Make sure the strap will be long enough for your head before completing; you may need to make it bigger or smaller, depending on the size of your head)
