This Santa Beard mask crochet pattern is a modified version of the Santa Beard that I designed a couple of years ago. Please note, that this mask is purely decorative. Crochet items are not dense enough to effectively function as a protective face mask! For protection, you will need to sew on a proper fabric liner or wear this mask over a disposable mask or other face covering.
