It's strange times we live in. With the potential for a prolonged period of self-isolation on the horizon thanks to the spread of Coronavirus (Covid-19), we thought we'd share this handy doctors' face mask knitting pattern to keep you busy (and safe) whilst indoors. Stay healthy everyone!

Free knitting pattern: cozy doctors' face mask

The face mask is worked in stockinette stitch with a narrow garter stitch border, with garter stitch ear straps attached afterwards. The mask has decreasing short rows to shape the chin, and increasing short rows to shape the nose. It’s surprisingly warm and cozy to wear!

• Gauge: 4.25 sts and 6 rows per inch
• Needles: 4.5mm (or size to obtain gauge)
• Yarn: under 25g of worsted weight (Suggested Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran)
• Size: adult (one size)

Pattern

Row 1 (RS): sl 1, P2, K to last 3 sts, P3.Row 2 (WS): sl 1, P to end.

These two rows make up the pattern (stockinette bordered by a 3-stitch garter border).

Straps

Repeat on right side of mask.

Finishing

Weave in ends.

Please Note - Knitting Co does not suggest that this pattern will make a surgical grade face mask and cannot verify that this mask would prevent the spread of bacteria, germs and viruses (including Covid-19 / Coronavirus)
