Hi Everyone!
It’s been quite a while since my last post. I hope you are all healthy and well, especially during these scary and VERY confusing times. All of this COVID-19 news has been making me wonder what I can do to help those on the frontlines. I keep hearing horror stories about healthcare workers who are now forced to wear facemasks for hours on end, and I can’t even begin to imagine the pain that this causes. I’ve seen a few similar patterns from some other people, so I thought I would write out my own pattern so that I, and all of you, would be able to help! My hope is that this pattern will help to make at least one person’s shift easier, and if you can crochet and have a few spare buttons I encourage you try out this pattern, or another one, and donate what you can! There is always something that we can do to make life better for someone else, and I truly believe that if we have the means to help, we absolutely should. This is just one small way we can give back. 🙂
That being said, I do hope you like the pattern! It’s a bit simple in looks but it gets the job done. It can also be easily modified by adding or subtracting chain stitches in the beginning of the pattern. Enjoy!
Supplies and Materials:
Caron One Pound – Azure (any yarn or color will do!)
Size N Crochet Hook
Two medium/large buttons
Yarn or sewing needle to sew the buttons on
Pattern:
Pattern is worked in the round.
Chain 10.
Round 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook. Continue to sc across (9).
Round 2: (Do not turn around, work in the round instead). Work 2 sc in the last stitch from round 1 (3 stitches total in last stitch).
Round 2 cont’d: Sc in each ch across. This will result in single crochets on both sides of the chain. (See below)
Connect to end sc with a sl st, cut and tie off. Weave in remaining ends.
Sew on your buttons and you’re good to go! To make it a bit easier, I found that using buttons with an attached hole make it quicker to just tie the buttons onto the band, rather than actually sewing them.
Your finished product should look something like this!
*As always, I encourage you to use this pattern for yourself or as gifts as much as you please! I do ask that you do not sell the pattern, and if you sell the product please note credit of the pattern to Black Cat Crochet! Thanks! :)*
