Although eye holes are a necessity in ski masks, mouth holes are optional. You can skip the mouth hole and crochet all the way from the bottom of the mask to the eyes if you prefer to make it without a mouth.
You can use several different colors of yarn in your mask if you tie off the yarn and start fresh with a new color.
