Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Start the Mask Base

With yellow yarn, worked double (hold two strands together):

Make a slip knot.
Chain 25. This will be the first eye opening.
Join to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a ring.
Tip: For bigger eyes, use more chains (try 30).
Chain 25 (second eye).
Join to the beginning of this chain with a slip stitch.

2. Work Around the Eye Openings

Crochet single crochet (sc) around; one for each chain.
Move smoothly from side to side, working in continuous rounds.
Join with a slip stitch at the end.

3. Shape the Mask

Round 1: Chain 2 (counts as first stitch).
Work 9 half double crochet (hdc).
Next, work 2 hdc in each of the next 7 stitches (for increases).
Then, work 9 hdc.
One single crochet between the eyes.
Repeat the above sequence for the second eye.
Finish the round with a slip stitch.

4. Shape and Add Dimension

Round 2: Chain 2.
Work 8 double crochet (dc).
In the increase area from last round, alternate:
- 2 treble crochet (tr) in one stitch, then 1 tr in next stitch.
- Continue this for 21 stitches (to round the eye).
Work 8 dc.
Do 1 hdc, 1 sc, 1 hdc between eyes.
Repeat for second eye.
Finish with a slip stitch.

5. Change to Purple Yarn

Switch to purple yarn, worked double:

Attach at where you finished the last round.
Chain 2.
Work 12 sc.
1 hdc.
2 dc.
2 tr.
2 triple treble crochet, making a picot (chain 3, join to first chain) before the second stitch—this forms the tip.
Descend: 2 tr, 2 dc, 1 hdc.
Increases: Work 2 sc in each of the next 11 stitches (total 22).
Work 20 sc (regular—one per stitch).
Work another set of increases: 2 sc in each of next 11 stitches (22 total).
1 hdc, 2 dc, 2 tr, 1 triple treble crochet plus picot, 1 triple treble crochet.
Descend: 2 tr, 2 dc, 1 hdc.
Finish with 12 sc, join with slip stitch.

6. Finishing Up

Weave all yarn ends inside mask using tapestry needle.
Trim excess yarn.
Gently stretch mask into shape.

7. Make the Tie Straps

With purple yarn (double), at the third increase from the tip on each side:
Attach yarn and chain 60 for a strap.
Tie a small knot at the end and trim.
Hide yarn ends inside stitches.
Repeat for the other side.

Tip

If you want a bigger mask or larger eyes, increase in equal steps on both sides. Always double-check your count for a symmetrical shape.
