A friend of mine posted this adorable crocheted mask on Facebook, and I thought I could help out by typing out line-by-line instructions in English about how to make it:
Ch 38
Row 1: 1 sc in second ch from hook and next 5 chs, 1 hdc in next 3 chs, 1 dc in next 19 chs, 1 hdc in next 3 chs, 1 sc in next 6 chs, turn
Row 2: Ch 1, 1 sc in same and next 2 sts, 1 hdc in next 3 sts, 1 dc in next 19 sts, 1 hdc in next 3 sts, 1 sc in next 6 sts, turn
Rows 3 - 8: Repeat Row 2
Row 9: Ch 1, 1 sc in same and next 2 sts, 1 hdc in next 3 sts, 1 dc in next 8 sts, 3 dcs in next st, 1 dc in next 10 sts, 1 hdc in next 3 sts, 1 sc in next 6 sts, turn
Row 10: Ch 1, 1 sc in same and next 2 sts, 1 hdc in next 3 sts, 1 dc in next 21 sts, 1 hdc in next 3 sts, 1 sc in next 6 sts, turn
Mask is done, but then to create the straps to place around ears, you'll make stitches all the way around the mask.
Round 11: from end of Row 10, ch 28 and connect to bottom right corner of mask by making 1 sc in ch at bottom right corner and 1 sc in each of the chs along the edge of the bottom of the mask, ch 28 and connect to top left corner of mask by making 1 sc in each st along the top of Row 10.
Round 12: make 1 sc in each of the 28 chs from Round 11, sl st along bottom of mask, and make 1 sc in each of 28 chs on other side of mask. Fasten off.
Now, you can decorate the front side of the mask however you'd like. And it looks like a fabric liner has been sewn in the inside of the mask.
Post Script: I made one in about an hour with an F hook and worsted weight yarn. It came out about the right size for a man's face, but the ear loops were too long. I'm going to try another one with DK yarn and a D hook and see how that turns out!
