CHILD fitted face mask with filter pocket pattern and tutorial

CHILDREN'S FACE MASK WITH FILTER POCKET PATTERN!

This post includes a pattern to make a free fitted face mask with filter pocket for children ages 3-10. To print, simply print this page or right-click and select "print". You may also save this pattern to your desktop for additional uses. PLEASE do NOT place a mask on a child below the age of 3- this can cause suffocation!

For instructions on putting this mask together, please click the link for the free adult face mask pattern and follow the instructions.

There are two sizes available: one for small children (roughly ages 3-5), and one for older children (ages 6-10). As there is so much variation in children's sizes, you may need to make both at first to find the perfect size for your child. The instructions are the same as for the adults with the exception of the following changes:

• Elastic length to cut (this is a rough estimate- test on your child first before top stitching): 12" (above ears), and 9" (below ears)
• Nose piece length: 4" long piece instead of 6 inches

When inserting the nose piece, for ages 3-5 measure in roughly 1.5" from each side and top stitch around to fully enclose into the mask. Have fun sewing!
