My brother travels on a lot of long haul flights and swears by these knitted eye masks. They are much more comfortable than material ones, as the knitting moulds to your face. By knitting your own, you can adjust the length of the covered elastic band to fit your head too.

This one is knitted in two colours, with the Larama Navy as the backing colour, to help keep the light out even more.

Simple and quick to knit. You need to be competent at sewing up using mattress stitch to get a neat finish.
