About this crochet pattern
This yellow thread mask is crowned with five curling jester points: one purple, two green and two yellow. Each point is tipped with a jingle bell, and green ribbon streamers trail from the sides.
The points are stiffened and curled over small tubes, then glued to the stiffened mask so everything holds its shape. Wear it to Mardi Gras or a masquerade, or hang it as a festive wall piece.
