DIY Face Mask to Crochet
Crochet your very own face mask! This DIY Face Mask pattern is designed to be worn over your traditional medical grade face mask. This fun crochet pattern will allow you to add a little bit of personalization to your otherwise boring face mask. Feel free to make it your own by switching up the color scheme or adding additional embellishments. Cotton yarn is the suggested yarn choice for this free crochet pattern because it can easily be washed, and it will not stretch out as easily as some other yarns.
Editorial Note: In settings where facemasks are not available, healthcare professionals (HCP) might use homemade masks (e.g., bandana, scarf) for care of patients with COVID-19 as a last resort. However, homemade masks are not considered personal protective equipment (PPE), since their capability to protect HCP is unknown. Caution should be exercised when considering this option. Homemade masks should ideally be used in combination with a face shield that covers the entire front (that extends to the chin or below) and sides of the face.
