Sleep Mask

Pattern is untested, so if you come across any problems or something is unclear, feel free to contact me. I’ll do my best to clarify or correct any issues.

Materials needed:
Size “H” or “G” crochet hook
WW yarn of your choice and color
Scissors
Ribbon (optional)

Mask can be made larger or smaller by adding/subtracting stitches or using a larger or smaller yarn. I make the initial chain then hold it up to my face or the face of the person it’s for to make sure it will adequately cover the eyes.

Abbreviations used:
sc = single crochet
st(s) = stich(es)
shell = 3 sc in same st
half shell = 2 sc in same st

Chain 28

Row 1 – 6: sc across to end (27 sts)

Row 7: sc for 13 st, shell (3 sc in same st), sc (13 st) to end (29 sts total)

Row 8: sc for 13 st, half shell in next st, shell in next st, half shell in next st, sc (13 st) to end (33 sts total)

Row 9 & 10: sc across to end (33 sts total)

Border optional: sc all the way around doing a shell in each corner st to give it a rounded appearance.

Straps (make 2): There are four options to pick from for the straps. Yarn/ribbon length whatever size needed.

1) Take a length of yarn and double it up, insert the closed end (loop) through one stitch at the center off mask edge, thread yarn through the loop and pull tight then knot the end.

2) Take three lengths of yarn and braid. Attach to mask in same way as with option #1.

3) Chain yarn to desired length, tie off and attach as previously stated.

4) Take a length of ribbon and attach to mask.

I get laughed at by the family for using these, but I have found that I sleep much better when using one. It will feel awkward to use at first, but you should adjust quickly to having it on. Experiment with yarns to find a softness level that works best for you. These work up fairly quickly and are easy to do as they are basically just a small rectangle with a few extra stitches in the last few rows in order to properly cover the nose area. Enjoy.
