Tunisian Mask Mates / Ear Savers - Free crochet pattern and tutorial! - Right handed

A mask mate or an ear saver is an accessory that can be used with a face mask to prevent sore ears. Prolonged use of a face mask with elastic bands that go over the ears can make the ears very sore. There are a lot of health care workers who could benefit from using these mask mates because they have to wear such masks on a daily basis for long hours. 1. They prevent ears from getting sore because of prolonged use of masks. 2. They help people with small heads because the mask fits better with them. 3. They are made of cotton so they can be washed in hot water and disinfected. 4. They need a tiny amount of yarn so they can be made up of scraps. 5. If you haven’t tried Tunisian crochet, this is a great pattern for beginners :) #TunisianCrochet #MaskMates #EarSavers 🧶WRITTEN PATTERN AND FREE PDF On my blog: Free PDF on Ravelry: 🧶OTHER TUTORIALS MENTIONED IN THIS
