Free Crocheted Ski Mask Pattern - jeltovski/Morguefile

A simple crocheted mask for winter. It uses a big hook to help with a great fit, and only one skein of worsted weight yarn.

This crocheted ski mask has individual eye holes, rather than an opening that goes all the way across the eyes. This helps block the wind and keeps the face that much warmer. This entire pattern is done with worsted weight yarn. Feel free to add embellishments or various colors as you wish to personalize it. It makes a great gift idea or a practical item to help keep out the cold.

Materials:

7 ounces worsted weight cotton yarn in any color
size K-11 crochet hook
