The sleep mask is worked sideways in the round according to the chart. Increases and decreases at the sides create the shape of the mask. The front can be worked with or without the knit and purl stitch pattern as desired. A narrow i-cord is worked along the edge of the mask to outline the shape. The casing for the elastic band is worked separately. It has added length to achieve the pretty ruche effect once the elastic band is drawn through. The mask is padded with batting, and the elastic is drawn through the casing and fastened at the sides of the mask.

The pouches are worked from the top down. First, the casings for the drawstrings are worked back and fort. The two pieces are then joined and the rest of the pouch is worked in the round. The bottom of the pouch is closed with a three needle cast-off from the wrong side. Two crochet chains are worked and drawn through the casings from each side of the pouch, so the pouch can be drawn closed.

Hand-knitted silk garments must be handled carefully when washed, as the fabric may stretch.

DETERGENT / SOAP
Use mild or neutral detergents with a relatively neutral pH level, preferably those marked for silk care or wool. Do not use heavy-duty detergents or those containing enzymes or bleaches.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
By hand: Ensure the water temperature is
steady, lukewarm or around 28°C/82°F. Add a small amount of gentle detergent, submerge your silk garment, and soak it until completely saturated. Rinse two to three times in clean water, ensuring it is the same temperature. Press the
water out of the garment, place it in a washing bag, and spin it in the machine using a gentle to medium spin programme.
By machine: Use a washing machine with a
silk/wool setting and a gentle cycle.

DRYING INSTRUCTIONS
Lay the garment flat on a clean towel and
reshape it as needed. Leave it to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not hang to dry.
