The colours in that photo aren't quite right as it was taken indoors on my phone, and I can't get a better picture now as Laura is in bed and needs the helmet in her room with her.
I'm very pleased with how it turned out. It didn't take long, I managed to finish it yesterday in one day. The main part of it is a plain crocheted hat, just worked in a spiral, with a rectangular brim for the back. The grill at the front was a bit more challenging and was worked in two halves, from the ends to the centre, then sewn together and edged. The feather is a red drinking straw with red feathers glued onto it, then I made a little tube of crochet and sewed that onto the top of the hat, and glued the feather inside.
Laura loves her hat; she wore it to the dentist yesterday and another little girl saw it and shouted 'Mike!' so I know it looks right! It's so much fun making these things for her. I'll try and get a modelled photograph of it tomorrow, I'm sure it'll spend much of the day being worn!
Another pattern for Ravelry?
ReplyDeleteThat is brilliant! I love how our little ones are now at the age when they really get into acting out books/tv shows and using props! You should sell those!
ReplyDeleteWell in both those cases I would have had to have made some sort of notes on the pattern. Making one is fun but making more would be dull. :)
ReplyDeleteI MUST have this pattern!!! If you are going to put it on revelry, please message me - i'm knittingkylie. Thanks!!!

Hi Susan, I don't I'm afraid, that was just a one-off and I can't remember now how I did it! Sorry
