What a wonderful and kind gesture in sharing your skills! In London no masks are available at this time. As a biochemist I do believe that wearing a mask that allows you to put layers of material as a filter should provide protection against droplets that carry viruses. Thanks so much for sharing this pattern which can be washed and sterilised too if needed.
I'm a dog grooming this is perfect project for me. ussualy I buy masks to not be breathing dog hair and dead skin from dogs . but I use alot and it gets expensive. so this is very nice !! thank you
Thank you for sharing. I ordered a cloth mask from Amazon... but shipping has been delayed till the end of May. This is wonderful, now I can stop holding my breath whenever someone walk by me =)
Hi there and thanks for your tutorials! Can you share what type of set up you use to record your tutorials as I would like to try it also? Thanks in advance ☺️🤗
This mask is wonderful, thank you for sharing. We cannot get masks anywhere in my community. For anyone needing to make this and unable to find filters, search on you tube for Dr Ryan Southworth advice on Hepa Filters from vacuum cleaner bags,...it may save a life! Thank you.
I went out and bought a bunch of LB coboo yarn for these masks. It’s soft and I’m using a D hook so the stitches are right. I will make an insert for cotton layers as well. Thanks for this pattern. Lovely!
Thats great. It could be used for smoking from fire and prevent from coughing, or face warm during cold time, anything but not just virus thing. Brilliant idea. Thank you!

Yarn masks are not air tight at all, thet offer no barrier, filter or not. Even regular medical grade masks aren't 100% effective at keeping you from catching something, they are mainly to keep people that are already sicl from infecting others. These crochet maks arent safe and its not a good idea to give an idea to people in this panic mindset thta they will help, because they wont.
Thank you so very much for your pattern! I wish people would stop giving you grief. Covid-19 aside, this will be great for my allergies when I add layers from an antimicrobial pillowcase. It will also help remind me to keep my hands off my face and keep fewer of germs from passing to others should I cough or sneeze. My only question is do you chain 1 at each of the row ends on the front? Please advise! Many thanks!
Thank you, thank you !!! My mother in law in the medical field and tells me how they are running out of masks. I will be making her some now and some to donate to few of the nurses. because of your wonderful post. Thank you for sharing.
L Bo. In the USA we have a heating system called forced air heating. It uses special filters we buy on Amazon, Home Depot, etc. They are made of some kind of fiber that filters the air from dust and bacteria that come out of the forced air heating ducts to purify the air. I heard that you can make your own mask by cutting out a rectangle of these filters and putting them inbetween 2 pieces of fabric. Hopefully thats a good enough filter, but who know right?
Thank you so much for sharing this. My husband went to the grocery store today wearing a bandanna over his face because there are no real masks available to us. Now I can make him something to wear on his face that at least doesn't make him look like a bank robber. Any mechanical barrier over the nose and mouth is better than nothing. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video to help those of us who can not get "official" face protection. God bless you.
@@allisons3830 There are some countries that people are required to wear a mask if they leave their house. The masks can also be worn by people that are already sick to help stop them from spreading it if they are around family members.
@@jennikj225 crocheted masks made with yarn actually will hold in germs amd cannot be sanitized. Crocheted maskes are actually worse than nothin, ee for sick people, the yarn will hold on the germs, and you'll just be constantly breathing them in. These videos arw actually dangerous right now.
Can nurses use these in hospitals and nursing homes my niece is a nurse and she’s having trouble wearing the ones they have for 12hours her face is all broke out she has fever blisters all along her mouth she is also having trouble with putting it around her ears she wears glasses and it’s hard with glasses and the something she has to wear for her glasses I thank you for sharing
Oh, I am sorry to hear that but unfortunately, it's better to ask doctor about usage of these masks for nurses. Normally, medical workers need stronger methods of protection. 😷
In the video she says any cotton yarn, while in the description she says any yarn in general. Maybe you could go with a light-weight cotton yarn? Another video has you making a mask with medium-weight acrylic yarn, and that one doesn't use a filter. So if you use acrylic yarn with a filter, I would think it'd work just as well. That's what I'm going to try, anyway.
The closest hook sizes I have are 2.75 and 3.25. I think I'll use 2.75 with loose tension. The alternate would be 3.25 with tight tension, and I don't want sore hand/wrist muscles!
I would like not to do any advertising but you can just type filter mask on amazon and they sell sets of filters or you can also try to order from South Korean sites
You can use professional fabric like N95 filter material. if you google filter fabric for masks, you can find some online sellers. Or you can use diy filters like from kitchen towels, baking sheets, dish towels and even toilet paper. Nowadays people are very creative. 😷
Thanks for sharing...I should've made when I first saw...but now they say we should if needing to go out...I had been saying if they are covering up in the hospitals....so should we all...scary times...thanks again
I see a lot of crochet mask videos using 100% cotton yarn. I have acryllic yarn. Is that okay to use to crochet a mask? What is recommended? I'm so eager to crochet away and I'm a beginner crocheter.
Well, cotton is better because is less warm yarn. But you can try acrylic as well and see if it gives you good filling. It also depends on a climate where you live
Great design ! Please guys, do not use filters from things that aren't designed to be breathed in close to the face. Hepa filters from vacuums, and other household filters are NOT recommended.
@@debibudz a larger hook will make the mask slightly larger and leave bigger gaps between the stitches--not ideal for filtration. You might be able to use that size hook if you use tighter tension.
Thank you very much for posting and sharing your knowledge especially for me, a new crocheter. I'm sure you answered this question , I know you said 100% cotton, but is there a size difference say 4 ply etc. Am I even asking this correctly? Sorry.. and I don't have a 3mm crochet hook, however I do have 3.5 is that ok?
L Bo Thank you for the reply. I did find that size hook. Another question if you can answer. Is there different ply for the cotton yarn? If so which cotton yarn is she using? I know 100% cotton but what ply yarn? Does that make sense..? Sorry too many questions :) but I really appreciate your help!!! Hugs
Thank you for watching! Yes, you can use hook 3.5 as was answered before. On my label it says just #4. But the best thing you must try to crochet with a yarn and see if it matches your hook size. For this pattern you can actually use any yarn and hook size. The main thing your hook must match your yarn thickness. And if you use bigger size hooks you should chain less. I am sorry if I didn't get your question right
Mask do help and so do you glasses because it goes through your eyes 👀 to. If you watch Asian boss on RUclips if tells you everything about the virus. I didn’t think they worked either till I watched this doctor on RUclips. I will make some now for my family
Thank you for sharing. I'm sure its been said but these *HAVE to be fitted perfectly for your face* or they *WILL NOT WORK* . Also they will not filter anything without the n95 material but I'm sure better than nothing.
She demonstrates how to crochet a FACE MASK ''YOU CAN INSERT ANY FILTER YOU CAN FIND''. For whatever use like for allergies or something. everything is not about COVID-19.
@@brandeemackenzie4241 if this is a breeding ground then all masks are. These will absolutely be better than nothing but do need another layer of fabric AND filter. Would you prefer to be coughed on by someone with this mask on or with absolutely nothing? I'm not saying these need to be made in mass and given to health care workers I'm saying it is better than nothing if you have absolutely nothing.
@@brandeemackenzie4241 also, all that said.. I am an avid crocheter.. but I will not be making any masks via crochet. I've been sewing them with pockets for filters as my cities hospital has asked the public to do so and drop them at the hospital

A bandana would be more effective than a crochet mask, pleas do noy use a crochet mask, they are holey and porous, they will not work as a barrier for germs, filter or not. They will actually hold im germs, them you'd ne breathing in those germs till you take it off.

3 mm is fine just make according to your measurements
Does it have to be 100% cotton?
No, you can use any yarn that you like 😉
Thanks for asking that. I have so much yarn and want to get started right away.
I think cotton is best if using for protection as germ and stuff stick to some of the other acrylics or fibers.... or so I've heard.
Tysm 🌸
Mine was sadly way to big and fell of my face. Got to try again
Try to chain less
@kim i undone one and i will try to crochet smaller. Not giving up yet 🙈
We need to wear them all the time when we are out they are saying now.
Thank you so much for the video! Is this pattern written anywhere? I have severe ADD and cannot crochet along to a video.
It is written in a response to pinned comment
What is on inside
I’m gonna try to make this today. Where can I buy the filter?
Can you write down the pattern please
Thank you very much for posting and sharing your knowledge especially for me, a new crocheter. I'm sure you answered this question , I know you said 100% cotton, but is there a size difference say 4 ply etc. Am I even asking this correctly? Sorry.. and I don't have a 3mm crochet hook, however I do have 3.5 is that ok?
3.5 is ok but the stitches will be slightly looser if you use the same size yarn as she.
L Bo Thank you for the reply. I did find that size hook. Another question if you can answer. Is there different ply for the cotton yarn? If so which cotton yarn is she using? I know 100% cotton but what ply yarn? Does that make sense..? Sorry too many questions :) but I really appreciate your help!!! Hugs
Thank you for watching! Yes, you can use hook 3.5 as was answered before. On my label it says just #4. But the best thing you must try to crochet with a yarn and see if it matches your hook size. For this pattern you can actually use any yarn and hook size. The main thing your hook must match your yarn thickness. And if you use bigger size hooks you should chain less. I am sorry if I didn't get your question right

Mask do help and so do you glasses because it goes through your eyes 👀 to. If you watch Asian boss on RUclips if tells you everything about the virus. I didn’t think they worked either till I watched this doctor on RUclips. I will make some now for my family
Thank you for sharing. I'm sure its been said but these *HAVE to be fitted perfectly for your face* or they *WILL NOT WORK* . Also they will not filter anything without the n95 material but I'm sure better than nothing.
She demonstrates how to crochet a FACE MASK ''YOU CAN INSERT ANY FILTER YOU CAN FIND''. For whatever use like for allergies or something. everything is not about COVID-19.
For covid-19 these actually are worse than nothing. They serve as a breeding ground. Please feel free to make them at any other time. NOT RIGHT NOW
@@brandeemackenzie4241 if this is a breeding ground then all masks are. These will absolutely be better than nothing but do need another layer of fabric AND filter. Would you prefer to be coughed on by someone with this mask on or with absolutely nothing? I'm not saying these need to be made in mass and given to health care workers I'm saying it is better than nothing if you have absolutely nothing.
@@brandeemackenzie4241 also, all that said.. I am an avid crocheter.. but I will not be making any masks via crochet. I've been sewing them with pockets for filters as my cities hospital has asked the public to do so and drop them at the hospital
@@dianetaylor3244 everything TODAY *IS* about covid19
why am i actually doing good!?
Oh brother.
No mask anymore ‼️never again
agree
Trima kasih tutorialnya sangat mudah diikuti...di tunggu video selanjutnya🙏❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this. My husband went to the grocery store today wearing a bandanna over his face because there are no real masks available to us. Now I can make him something to wear on his face that at least doesn't make him look like a bank robber. Any mechanical barrier over the nose and mouth is better than nothing. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video to help those of us who can not get "official" face protection. God bless you.
A bandana would be more effective than a crochet mask, pleas do noy use a crochet mask, they are holey and porous, they will not work as a barrier for germs, filter or not. They will actually hold im germs, them you'd ne breathing in those germs till you take it off.
