Crochet Sleeping Mask

Materials Needed:

Yarn
3.5 mm crochet hook

Pattern:

Start with a Slip Knot and Chain:

Make a slip knot.
Chain 22.

Row 1:

Skip the first chain from the hook.
Single crochet (SC) in each of the next 21 chains.

Row 2:

Chain 1 and turn your work.
Skip the chain-1 space.
Place an increase (2 SC in the same stitch) in the first SC.
SC across until you reach the last stitch.
Place an increase in the last stitch.

For Row 3:

Chain 1, turn your work.
SC in each stitch across the row (should be 23 SC including the increases from the previous row).

Next Few Rows:

Continue the pattern by starting each row with a chain 1 and turn.
Begin and end each row with an increase, and SC in each stitch between the increases.
The stitch count will increase by 2 SC for each row, ending with 27 SC before starting the decrease rows.

Decrease Begins:

After reaching 27 SC, start the decrease.
Chain 1, turn your work.
Begin the row with a decrease (combining the first two stitches into one).
SC in the next 23 stitches.
End the row with a decrease over the last two stitches.

Creating the Nose Gap:

Chain 1, turn your work.
SC in the next 10 stitches.
To create the gap, simply chain 1 and turn.
Decrease at the start and end of the next row, with regular SC stitches between.

Finishing the Nose Gap:

Continue decreasing at the beginning and end of each row, with fewer SC between, until you can do a final row of 4 SC across (after the initial decrease rows to create the gap).
