The making of the Viking Hat
I used these patterns: (with a little artistic license)
Hat (with a few alterations)
Horns (made twice as big)
For the beard:
Crocheting the hat took about a day- including some hiccups with the pattern (start with 12 sts in magic ring)
Don't the horns look fab! One of my favourite forms, aesthecially. Plus, loving the colour gradient I totally planned and didn't just happen to have in my stash... They were a real joy to make, the pattern turned into a rhythm that was easy to memorise
Horns rolled at bottom 2 or 3 rows, and stuffed.
Bloke wearing his Halloween costume for 2012. We visited the Hob Goblin Pub. And he drank Hob Goblin. I should have made him a Hob Goblin costume... Next year.
In total the Viking hat took me about 3 days... Which isn't bad! I could wriggle that down to 2 days, maybe even a day and a half if I stapled the crochet hook to my hand permanently.
My Costume
I made a witches hat but I never wore it as part of my costume.
This was my costume. Spider. Web. Hat.
I sort of winged the spider pattern. (If spiders had wings I think arachnophobes would crumble into a corner and whimper for the remainder of the Winged Spider World Domination)
Tadaaa!
Unfortunately I do not have a good enough picture of my costume on.
This little spider will now by my practical joke for the year. Or however long it lasts. I think it could last a while...
All for now!
