Face masks are here to stay for the foreseeable future, and we've seen many crafters answer the call to make their own cloth face coverings - even some folks who have never sewed before! Vickie Howell has a fabulous round-up of free sewing patterns and tutorial, which also includes some no-sew options. Click here to check it out!
Even if you don't sew, you can still put a crafty spin on your face coverings. Many crafters are using up leftover bits of yarn to make face mask adapters to keep masks secure and reduce irritation by keeping elastic away from the skin behind the ears. Click the links below to check out these FREE knit & crochet patterns to try (Ravelry links where noted)!
Knitters could make a similar cord by knitting an I-cord and then following the finishing steps shared by Vickie in the previous link above. Check out the tutorial video below for the steps on making an I-Cord if you need a refresher on this technique!

I am disappointed in your tunisian crochet hooks because the sizing is already disappearing from the hooks after less than 3 months of use. Why is this? Also why can't the stoppers attach directly to the hooks if you aren't doing a short width project?
ReplyDeleteHi there, thank you for your comment - to better answer your question, can you tell us which line of Tunisian hooks you've been using? You can see all of our ranges here: http://www.knitterspride.com/MasterIdwise-Details.asp?id=1&mcid=2
