Halloween is a great holiday to create many original hats! For Halloween this year, I needed a knight helmet for my boy Martin. This knight hat is big fun to make for any boy or man! I made it into a wearable hat. With how cold it can get in the fall time, I think this hat will be put to good use after Halloween's over. It works up perfect and there is videos tutorial to help you along the process.

It’s an amazing result and we already tried it - it really works!

This hat is a super cool concept and I'm excited to see it in action! My favorite part is the mask that flips up and down. I absolutely love the pattern. This helmet is fantastic and looks just like the real thing. You will love the results. It makes a great handmade gift idea too - Christmas time is coming :)

This Knight Helmet is made of 3 parts – one is for the hat and one is for the face mask and the top part on the hat. They are connected together.

Pattern Notes

1) This pattern is for kids size (10 years) can easily be adapted to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the size of the hat and number of chains and rows for the mask and as well as making less or more chains for the top. Remember that when making your helmet for man size, you will need more yarn.

2) A Ch 3 at beg of the row counts as dc throughout, a ch 2 at the beg row counts as hdc throughout, and a ch 1 at beg of row counts as sc throughout

3) Finish each round with slip stitch in the 3rd ch from beg

There are 3 parts of this project:

A) The Helmet / Hat 
B) The Face Mask
C) The Hat Top

Mask's grid lines

(start slip stitching from about 2nd hdc). Cut the yarns. Fasten off both.

BUTTONS
Sew 2 buttons on each side of the Mask. I chose the red buttons.
Make sure the Buttons are far enough over on each side of the Mask so the Button loops of the Mask is tight enough to cover your face.

Make slip knot in the corner of the arch. Work sc around the ark (from left to right side). Don't work sc on the bottom of the arch.
Cut the yarn. Fasten off.

Tassels
Cut strands - you can use both colours if you want to, I used grey and dark red yarns.
Gather a 6 or 8 strands of yarn about 5 inches in length and using your hook pull a loop through the first stitch on top of the arch. Then pull the ends of the strands through the loop and pull tight. Trim to desired length – do the same at each second stitch on the top.
I made 13 tassels.

Sew the Arch on top of the helmet.

First fold the helmet in half, find the 3rd round of the helmet, place the Arch on the helmet. Sew the arch from the top down the center.
