Kid and child-sized face mask cloth patterns (with instructions)
COVID-19 has defined 2020. It is important to continue to wear our masks to keep each other safe. Kids might not want to wear a mask and will have a hard time wearing a mask, but making them the right size and shape helps. Many kids struggle with having the mask touch their face too tightly.
In this post, we focus specifically on instructions on how to make a comfortable children’s mask that has a ‘beak’ which keeps the fabric off the child’s face. Do you want more kids’ mask patterns from Printerfriend.Ly? Check out this post.

These first two images are for the outer fabric. If you are printing and then tracing the pattern onto your fabric, make sure to mark the reverse side of your fabric. We’ve included the location of the ties for going around the head but obviously those will be sewn on and don’t need inclusion in the mask portion of the pattern.

Unlike other mask patterns online, this child’s face mask pattern includes a nosepiece that can be used to pull the mask in closer to the face which offers greater protection. If you need ideas of what to use for a nosepiece, check out this article. You can use twist ties, pipe cleaners and more to get a secure fit for your nose!
