Surgical Face Mask Knitting Patterns

by

We have been inundated with requests for face mask knitting patterns so we decided to do all the research for you and find you the best ones. Now, lots of people are saying that knitted masks are unsafe and we are not suggesting they are better than store-bought filtered facemasks BUT, maybe you are in a position where you can’t buy a face mask, can’t find one in your state and now you are legally required to wear one.

Maybe wearing a face mask isn’t something you ever thought about wearing 2 months ago, heck even 2 weeks ago, but here we are. The handmade sewn masks are very popular right now but not everyone can sew. So I am putting my knitting skills to good use and making these masks for myself and family until we can purchase medical-grade ones.

Lots of these masks have gaps for carbon filters too. Here is a knitting pattern via Etsy which has the filter pocket.

This is the most basic, simple design and this face mask pattern is FREE.

A more basic style pattern can be found via the link for free too.

This pattern is more of a face mask cowl, which personally I really like as it is not hanging off my ears and cutting into them.

This mask is a long cowl style facial mask. Again, it means you have minimal skin exposed to the virus, it’s nice and warm and not hanging off your ears. Great for any frontline staff who have to work outside.

Still wanting to be stylish? This one has a long frontage on it and is perfect for the chest area.

Do you have a pattern that we should add to this list? Drop a comment below and we will include it to this knitting mask list.

Remember to stay home and stay safe!

  1. I am curious if all these are machine washable as masks are to be washed after each use/

  2. It would depend on the yarn you use if they are washable. I would probably choose cotton with a fabric liner if I were going to knit a mask.

Stitch Your Favorite Fruit on a Sweater

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.
