We have been inundated with requests for face mask crochet patterns so we decided to do all the research for you and find you the best ones. Now, lots of people are saying that DIY Crochet 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 Crochet skills to good use and making these masks for myself and family until we can purchase medical-grade ones
This medical face mask one is open weaved but it does have a stitched in cotton filter and the pattern for it is Free and easy to follow.
This one is nice and colourful and also comes in a child-sized fox design you can grab these crochet patterns here. These ones are more aimed at covering cloth ones so the weave is a little open.
This facemask is actually a cowl, so why am I including it in this DIY make your own facemask round up? Because it is actually perfect for anyone who is working outside in the cold and it doesn’t cling off the ears so it won’t hurt the face. You can purchase this one via Etsy.
This one is a paid pattern but I love this one because it is tight and allows a pocket for holding in filter papers especially suitable for folded coffee filters.
