(finished knitting)
(after crochet eyes)
I know some boys who love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and after being on a knitting frenzy lately. I came up with this.
Knit in stockinet with the eye section knit open like a rectangle to go back crochet around the eye opening to make it two holes & with the ends of the mask decreased to make an angle to mimic the rolling up of a bandana like the TMNT use for their eye masks.
Knit with Lion Brand Wool Yarn in colors Pumpkin & Purple
Needle Size US6(purple) and US8(orange)
Here is the free pattern:
row 1-7 (bottom half), 8-12 (left side of eyes), 13-17 (right side of eyes), 18-24 (top half)

Weave in ends. Go back and crochet around eye hole & in the middle crochet two stitches on the bottom to two stitches on the top to make the eye opening two eye holes. Also crochet across CO edging because that seems to have come out more loose than the BO edging and will lay more flat on the face if you reinforce it with crocheting. The Lion Brand wool yarn says it is good for felting on the tag. I haven't felted one yet, so I'll post about how felting one turns out when I do so because the pattern wants to roll. I'm also making one with a seed stitch to stop the rolling.
