viking hat.

As many of you know my brother is a fanatical fancy dress enthusiast, he asked me to make him a viking helmet with beard for a fancy dress party.
Looking on the internet i saw many different styles of of this type of hat and in a flash of genius i decided to make the hat out of lopi alafosslopi from iceland that i got on holiday from the isle of white.
because of the pattern i decided to make the hat from the crown down so i could had a braid at the end as well as a bobble cuff.
As you also know im am not amazing at novelty items but im going to make a good go and try to make it as realistic as possible.


The knit is not going as well as i hoped i got the size wrong and the hat was massive way to big for any mans head.
