One important thing to note is that crochet or knit face masks are not medical grade. These masks cannot prevent, treat, reduce, or even cure any health condition, including COVID-19. They are just for the purpose of discouraging you from touching your face all the time.

For better protection, you can use these crochet masks over the medical-grade mask so that it looks cute and fancy!

The crochet Santa Face Mask is easy to make and the crochet pattern is beginner-friendly. If you have an understanding of basic crochet stitches, you’ll be able to make one in a short duration!
