About this crochet pattern
This pattern makes an armor-style superhero face mask. You crochet it in cotton yarn, then stiffen it with glue so it holds its shape. It suits Halloween, cosplay, comic cons and dress-up. This listing is for the pattern, not a finished item.
The mask is sized for an adult male. The pattern is written in US terms, mostly single crochet, plus increases, decreases, chains and slip stitches. You shape the mask over a form while the glue dries.
