Watching the Watchmen...

hahahahaha.
I am fuckin' stoked for the Watchmen movie.
If you have no idea what I'm talkin' bout, then go buy the Graphic Novel, because the movie is coming out in March, & you won't want to miss this...


Anyway, the boyfriend needed a ski mask to keep him warm in these Michigan winters, so I made him one based on Rorschach's from the novel.

A few Notes:

Please Note
The Chart is 34 St by 24 St worked in ST.
Each "box" is One Stitch.
The "x" represent the color change.
I used black and white, but feel free to use whatever you want.


Work from the bottom up.

There is an eye hole in this mask. To make the eye hole, you simply bind off those stitches, then work up either side of the mask for 3 rows, then you cast back on the number of stitches you bond off for the eye hole. You then single crochet around the edges of the eye hole, and join in the middle.



There are a few problems with seeing the chart, I am told, but I can not access a scanner.
So, to remedy the problem, here is the chart as well.

O= Main color.
X= Second Color
%= Bind off
^= Cast on.


Each one is a Stitch.
Also, the "breaks" indicate every 5 stitches.
