Knitting Pattern – How To Make Your Own Knitted Face Mask

Earlier this week we wrote an article about 7 DIY Facial masks you can make to help avoid the flu and other respiratory viruses. Some folks have requested a direct link to the knitting pattern that was featured in that article.

You can purchase the Knitted facial mask pattern here.

This face mask pattern is great to wear on top of medical-grade respirator masks. Even if they won’t protect you from getting the dreaded coronavirus they will surely start a great conversation :).

You can see a Crochet version here.

I was so excited to find these UK based mask seller, selling the antibacterial masks.

You can purchase these via the link below. When you purchase via this link we get a small kickback.

And while you’re knitting masks, make sure to knit some ear savers as well. These are great to keep the elastic bands from rubbing on your ears.

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.

Grab a copy of the pattern for yourself form Bea Creative Knits on Etsy.
