All Tied Up

Was asked to make 5 masks with ties instead of ear loops. Of course I said yes.
Completed 3 using cotton yarn that I crocheted into 16” chains for the ties. Ran out of the yarn. So I made the ties for the last 2 from fabric.
She asked if she could get 3 more masks. I whined a little because making the 4 ties per mask was taking a long time. But I said yes. It took a long time to complete the masks. The ties took the longest to make.
Would I make them with ties again? Yes, but only if I had grosgrain ribbon or bias tape.
Or, maybe not.

There are so many that need the masks and can't find them. I am going to work on getting a bunch done this week so I can have a stock pile and then let people know I have some available.
Because I get my materials for free, I can give them to those who need them.

I think the ties are more flexible since not everyone has the same head size.

I would end up tying my long hair into them. I prefer the loops. Not the elastic type though.

After I got them all done and bagged up, wouldn't you know I found some bias tape that I could have used!!!

It took me a while to do them, but I am happy with how they came out.

Elastics can hurt your ears from time to time so the material ones are much better I would say.
You have done well there.

I was pleased with how well they came out. Making the ties took way longer than I thought they would.
