There’s a fab handwarmers pattern I’ve made over 10 times called Align Mitts (it’s a free pattern)

There’s some great sweater patterns for sock yarn too! I don’t like anything heavier than dk!

I want to make a couple more fabric masks (we're needing to wear masks more here in NZ now). I made us each a couple last year, from onlien patterns, but >I can't remember where I got them from.

What are people's preferred mask patterns these days?

OH wears glasses, I don't. Also, I don't have a sewing machine, but happy hand sewing.

aplat.com I wear glasses and use an origami type mask which I altered slightly to fit a nose bar in. I do need to use a nose bar in any mask because of steaming up of glasses. I've also used other styles and nose bars for glasses do help, but I find the origami more comfortable.

This is similar and one I meant to try but never got round to it. I might try one for my husband as he wears glasses all the time and has quite a big head so the fitted types aren't so good for him. I did make a pleated one for him but I can't get as a neat finish as a fitted one.

This and the "origami" version have straight seams, so very easy to sew without a machine.

Thanks for the mask patterns, I keep meaning to make some!

Here's my latest creation, by far the largest crocheted thing so far, but very enjoyable pattern, from Ravelry.
