About this crochet pattern
This pattern makes three half-face masks for children. The tiger is orange with black stripes, a white muzzle and white ears edged in orange. The monkey is brown with a tan face, muzzle and ears and an embroidered nose. The elephant is gray with pink ears and a trunk.
Each mask is worked in worsted weight cotton yarn, then stiffened and dried on a form so it holds its shape. They are great for Halloween, dress-up boxes, birthday parties, school plays and zoo or jungle themes.
