Breakfast at Tiffany’s Sleep Mask

This crochet pattern is based on Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Actually, if you want to be exact, it’s taken from the scene in the movie in which Holly Golightly answers the door wearing the most charming sleep mask — so charming that I just had to replicate it.

Materials:

• Blue: worsted weight yarn (Red Heart Super Saver)
• Gold: worsted weight yarn (Vanna’s Choice)
• Size F-5 (3.75mm) crochet hook
• Yarn needle

Gauge: While gauge is somewhat important for this project, by the time you finish a gauge square, you may as well have made the mask. Mask measures 6 inches across without the edging.

Finished Size: 6.75 inches across by 3 inches wide at narrowest point
