Viking Hat

DIFFICULTY: advanced beginner (simple stitches, a lot of assembly/sewing) SIZES: Newborn 0-3 months 3-6 months 6-12 months 1-3 years 3-10 years 10+ years / small adult regular adult XL adult This is a crochet pattern for a horned Viking helmet. The pattern is written, abbreviated in parts (with explanations) and features 80 color photos to further illustrated steps of the pattern. It comes with 9 different sizes from newborn to XL adult. Each size comes with its own two-page pattern. The hat can easily be customized with different colors, the horns attached higher or lower or turned upside down, lengthened or shortened, etc. I used Bernat Super Value to create the pattern, but any medium 4 size yarn will work out just fine as long as the gauge is correct. MATERIALS NEEDED: Yarn: Heavy worsted or aran weight Medium 4 yarn, yardage depends on hat size, yarn used for pattern photos is Bernat Super Value yarn in the listed colors, any colors can be substituted: color A: hat base, 40-150 yards, Redwood Heather color B: contrast, 40-125 yards, Clay color C: horns, 25-100 yards, Natural Hooks: size H/5mm, size G/4mm Pins or safety pins Darning needle Polyester stuffing (washable), such as Poly-Fil Stitches needed: ch, sl, sc, hdc, dc, 2tog (of varying stitches)
