Title: Purple & D&D Dice Fitted Masks
Masks for: Me
Pattern Link to Share: Smooth Fitted Masks
First one was my prototype, whipped up in an hour for an unexpected Vet visit. I found tying the upper ties above my ponytail helped keep it from hurting my ears, but the bias tape wasn’t all that comfortable. I tried again with some elastic for the stars mask, but found it ultimately also uncomfortable when I had to grocery shop last week. I’ve since switched to using tee shirt yarn for the ties, as it’s much softer, and has a gentle stretch to it.
Title: Star Trek Fitted Masks
Masks for: Neighbor S.
Pattern Link to Share: Smooth Fitted Masks
My neighbor S. has to keep working, as he’s in construction and owns his own small business. Their jobs were already scheduled, so they’re doing whatever they can. I used some of my precious store of elastic for him, since he doesn’t have long hair, and can’t use a ponytail to take the strain off his ears. I did two, so he can have one in the wash, while wearing the other to work.
Title: Pink & States Fitted Masks
Masks for: Neighbors J. & son M.

S.'s wife & son are mostly at home all the time, but I whipped up one for each of them in case something comes up and they have to go somewhere, like an unplanned doctor’s visit.
Title: Solid Black & Purple Stars Fitted Masks
Masks for: Brother & SIL

My brother requested solid black to match his company’s colors/gear. He’s also in construction, and has been working his limited crew odd hours to try to avoid other people on job sites as much as possible. Again, I made him two, so one can always be in the wash. My SIL is staying home with the kids, as she’s currently out of work, since the university she works for has suspended classes, but I wanted her to have one in case she has to run to the grocery store.
Title: Pink Strawberries & Turquoise Medallion Masks
Masks for: Nieces

I doubt my young nieces are going anywhere, but on the off chance something happens and they need to go out, I whipped up kid sized ones for them.
Title: Pink, Turquoise & Skully Fitted Masks
Masks for: Mom & Dad
Pattern Link to Share: Smooth Fitted Masks
My mom doesn’t seem to be taking this as seriously as I would like her to, and is still sometimes going out. So two masks for her, and one skulls & crossed bones for dad. His is lined in acid green, mostly just to amuse his macabre sense of humor.
