Designed for my kindergartener who just returned to in person learning and now has to wear her mask for 3 hours continuously!
It also works great for adult heads/masks!

Supplies Needed:
DK weight yarn (2 colors)
Needle
Thread
2 Buttons (1/2 - 3/4 in)
Tapestry Needle
Set of 5 - US Size 1 (2.25 mm) DPNs
1 Circular Needle (Any size from US 1-3) at least 24 in
(You can use other types of yarn (doubled fingering, sport, worsted & aran) and needles (reduce needle size by at least 3 US sizes from what is recommended for the yarn)

Techniques:
Uses knitting in the round, Turkish Cast-On and Kitchener Stitch….all of which are actually very easy. Watch a few YouTube videos and you will be an expert in no time!
