Hdc in BLO of each ch across (18 hdc). FO, leaving a 6-inch tail for sewing. Instructions for Mask Liner 1. Place each heart side by side on a piece of paper, overlapping slightly. Sc in nxt 2 V-sts (skipping the chs), and make 3 sc in bottom ch-3 sp. Sc in nxt 2 V-sts (skipping the chs), and (P-dc in nxt dc, ch 1) 4 times, and make 1 P-dc in 5th dc of Rnd 3. 4 sc in ch-4 sp. Sl st in original Rnd 1 ch to join. FO 2. Trace around both hearts with a pencil. (I've provided you with the template I used (see page 10), but your hearts may be a different size depending on yarn, hook size, and tension, so it's a good idea to know how to make your own, just in case.)

5 5. Then, cut the felt along the line you traced. I put the abbreviation "WS" on the wrong side of my felt (on the side where my pen marks appear). 3. Cut out the shape you traced. It's your template. 6. With the RS facing you, lay the lacy hearts on top of the felt shape and trim any areas that stick out beyond the hearts. 4. Place the paper template FACE DOWN on the felt, and trace around it. 7. You're now going to use the felt shape as a new "template" for cutting the flannel. Lay the flannel on a flat surface with WS facing you. Place the felt shape WS DOWN on the flannel, and trace a line on the flannel about 1/2 inch from the actual felt shape. (This is the seam allowance, which you'll fold under later.) Copyright 2014 Book People Studio 5

6 10. Fold the flannel along the inside (seam) line. Carefully iron along the fold, creating a nice crease. Next, trace directly around the felt shape. This is the actual seam line where you will fold the flannel. 8. Cut the flannel along the OUTER line (seam allowance line). Assembly 1. Sew one strap to the outside edge of each heart. Make sure your heart is facing RS up. 9. Snip little slits along the seam allowance to make folding easier. (Here is what the WS looks like, just so you know.) Copyright 2014 Book People Studio 6

7 2. Pin the WS of the flannel to the WS of the felt, and then pin the two hearts to the felt. 4. Cut a 1.5-inch piece of elastic, and sew the ends to the ends of the straps. This stretchy detail allows for heads of different sizes.! Pin the hearts to the liner. My pins are REALLY hard to see! 3. Cut a long length of embroidery floss (I used 40 inches yipe!), and make a running stitch about 1/8 inch in from the seam, sewing through all three layers. Copyright 2014 Book People Studio 7
