{DIY} Crocheted Mask Helper (Ear Saver)

Face masks have become part of our daily lives.  We're fortunate that my mother in law made us each some fabric masks but the elastic was really starting to hurt my ears.  I saw some crocheted mask helpers on a website and thought I'd try and make it myself before ordering one.

 I found this tutorial and was happy to find all of the supplies I needed at home.

Supplies:

Yarn

Crochet hook

2 buttons 

Larger needle (not pictured)

 I made the stretchier version. It should measure approximately 1 1/2" x 5". My crochet skills are a little rusty but I think I did ok.

 Add buttons with a large needle and tie off in the back.

 The finished 'helper'.

 One of the cute masks that my mother in law made us.

This is how the mask hooks onto it from the back.

It can be worn lower or higher on the head depending on where you find it most comfortable.  It takes the burden of the elastic off of your ears. Yay!
