CROCHET SLEEPING MASK

I am so excited for being able to share this pattern with you! I really love crocheting accessories and making this sleeping mask was really fun and so exciting!

This sleeping mask would make a lovely addition to your beauty session when preparing for sleep or even a stocking filler for Xmas (I know it's still October but believe me time flies)! Either way the pattern is really easy to follow so grab your hooks!

3.5  (E/4) crochet hook

Mint cotton yarn (Katia Monaco 44 is the brand used in sample) and small amount of silver (Catania 172)

Do not fasten off, but sc evenly around entire mask twice (in each corner work 2 sc in the specified stitch to prevent the corners from turning and in order to maintain the shape of the mask)

Attach grey yarn and sc evenly around entire mask once more.

Fasten off and weave in remaining ends.

Assembly

Attach mint yarn to the middle of the mask (see pictures for reference) and ch 55. Attach to opposite side and then sc all the way back in each ch st (be careful not to twist your chain) sl st to first st and fasten off.
