Today I want to show you my version of this pattern.
Last year I lived in a dorm and my roommate and I had very different schedules, so while I was trying to sleep she would be awake...with all the lights on. I didn't feel like asking her to turn out the lights when I went to bed (she would sometimes but most of the time...no lol) so I decided I just needed to make a mask, and through the power of Pinterest I found this pattern.
Even though it's super cute all I wanted was the plain mask and I didn't have the same kind of yarn it calls for so I had to modify.
So my version is a lot of eyeballing and won't have very specific instructions, but for me that's the most fun thing about crochet is being able to freestyle patterns and come up with something totally unique.
Just reading through this might not make sense but if you actually do it with
First I chained enough for it to go from one side of my forehead to the other. This makes sense when hold it up to your face.
Next I single crocheted enough rows to go down to the top of my nose. Again, it makes sense when you do it.
Finish off
Next mark halfway point with piece of string by threading it through the stitch.
So what you want to do next is find halfway between your mark and the end of the row and start crocheting into this stitch. 7sc or until you can attach the end of the row to the main rectangle.
Sc around the fan, attaching the end of every row to the main rectangle until the fan reaches the end of the rectangle.
Do same for other side.
After that sc all the way around the whole project.
For making the band to go around your head you can either get actual elastic and sew it, or just improvise some way using crochet. I don't want to advise what I did because it was really lazy and doesn't really work that well.
This is the point in this blog where I'm going to doing a lot more stuff like this so be prepared! And again if y'all ever want a "How to Crochet" blog I will. Just ask! Next time we'll talk about slippers. See y'all then!
