Round 1- With color A work 16 Dc into magic ring
or
Ch4 slip stitch to work in the round. Ch3(this counts as a Dc) and 15 Dc into ring,
or
Start any way you like to just make sure you have 16DC
Round 2 - 2Dc into first dc or ch3, place marker to establish beginning of your round. *1Dc, 1IncDc* ; repeat 7 times.(23)
Round 3- *1Dc, 1IncDc* ; repeat 10 times ending with 1 Dc at last st. (34)
Round 3- 1Dc into next st, *1 IncDc, 1Dc in next 2 sts*; repeat 10 times (45)
Round 4- 1Dc into next st, *1IncDc, 1Dc into next 2 stitchs*; repeat 14 times(60)
Rounds 5 - 11: Dc in each around.
Round 12- PM, *1Sc into each of next 7 sts, PM,
(this marks the first eye hole), 1Dc into each of next 4 sts, PM, 1Sc
into each of next 7 sts, PM. Work remainder of round in DC.
Round 13- Ch3, turn work; work evenly across back of hat to marker.
Round 14- Ch3, turn work; work evenly across back of hat back to the other marker.
Leave this row for now and join a new piece of yarn to work the space
between the eyes. Join a new piece of yarn at the top of the first dc
(of four) and Ch 3; 1Dc into each of next 3 sts; cut yarn.
Round 15- Return to the live row and Ch7, 1Dc into
top of ch3 (between the eyes) 1Dc into each of next 3 sts, Ch7. 1Dc into

eye hole. Work 1Dc in each ch across (7 sts), 1Dc into next 4 sts, 1Dc
in each ch across (7 sts). 1Dc into top of ch3, 1Dc in each of next 10
sts, 1SC into each of next 6 sts, 1SS, cut yarn.
(I have an alternative way written at the end to do this in rounds instead of doing it rows if you do not want this look it kind of looks like a wrestler mask the way it is)
From this point on,
the rest of the mask will be worked flat, back and forth and no longer
in the round. Fold piece in half, making sure to line the eyeholes
together. Establish the very center of the stitches at back of the mask.
There should be 6. Count three on either side, and PM at each end; DO
NOT WORK OVER THESE 6 STS. Join color B in the very next stitch.
Row 16- Ch3,(this is always considered a Dc) 1Dc in each of next 9 sts (10
sts in black total). Switch to color A and work 1Dc into each of next 32
sts across. Switch back to color B and work 1Dc into each of next 10
sts.
Row 17- Ch3, turn. Work the same as previous row.
Row 18- Ch3, turn. 1Dc in each of next 10 sts across. Switch to color A and work 1Dc into each of
next 30 sts across. Switch back to color B and work 1Dc into each of
next 11 sts.

next 24 sts across. Switch back to color B and work 1DC into each of
next 14 sts.

next 2 sts, skip 1 st, 1Dc into each of next 3 sts, skip 1, 1DC into
next 2 sts, skip 1 (2 times), 1Dc into each of next 3 sts, skip 1, 1Dc
in each of next 2 sts. Switch back to color B and work 1Dc into each of
next 15 sts.
Row 23- Ch3, turn. Work an even row of Dc across. (you can repeat this until it reaches the desired length)
Alternative
Fold piece in half, making sure to line the eye-holes
together. Establish the very center of the stitches at back of the mask.
There should be 6. Count three on either side, join color B in the very next stitch. (I may not have worded this right it is saying do the same thing as before but you will be working into the 6 sc you would not do with the other way)

sts in black total). Switch to color A and work 1Dc into each of next 32
sts across. Switch back to color B and work 1Dc into each of next 16

| Back of Mask |
Row 1: Join at the bottom corner of one of
the flap openings in the back of the neck of the mask. CH1, and 1SC
along the edge around the post of each dc stitch. (10 sts)
(diagram here)
When
you reach the top at the white part of yarn (bottom of skull), skip the
first st, 1SC into the next st, skip 1, 1SC into each of next 2 sts,
skip 1, and continue down the other edge for 11 sts.
Row 2: CH1 turn; 1 SC in each of next 9 sts, skip 1, 1SC in each of next 11 sts; tie off and weave in the end.
Before
continuing on to embellish the mask, with color B, join a new piece of
yarn to one end along the very bottom of the mask and work 1SC evenly
into the top of each st to the end; tie off and weave in the end.
Draw String
CH76 sts, 1SC into second ch from hook; work 1SC in each chain to
end, weave in end. Starting at the top of the column (at the bottom of
the skull) lace the draw string through the top of every other sc as if
to thread shoe string.
Or you can use an shoe lace that is what I used
Mouth
I single crochet a line until i had gotten the length I wanted to have the vertical line, I did a ch 4 for the teeth. Then I just stitched it onto the place I wanted it.
