Surgical Face Mask Knitting Patterns

April 3, by Shellie Wilson. 3 Comments

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!

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

    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.

    Is there a pattern for a carrying bag for the masks, to be worn around the neck?
