About this crochet pattern
This harlequin costume mask is worked in red and black worsted weight cotton yarn. The eyes are framed in black, and two pointed jester flaps, one red and one black, sweep up over the head.
After the pieces are sewn together, the mask is dipped in stiffener and dried on a form so it holds its shape. Add elastic or ties and it is ready for Halloween, costume parties, masquerades and cosplay.
