My girls love sleep masks! They think they’re very grown when they get to wear one to bed. So, this pattern was a request by them!

It is an easy pattern using basic crochet stitches and cotton yarn. You can customize by leaving the front blank, adding a word, or even closed eye/eye lashes. Other supplies needed are felt or fabric and elastic or a headband. I found the headband in the photo at Walmart for around $1 for 2. These work nice because they are already made to be worn in your hair, so they won’t pull your hair like plain elastic may.
