knight costume

I finished the knight costume and I have to say it turned out awesome!! Alex loves it! I cut the tunic out of fleece and did a freezer paper stencil of a similar dragon to the one they have in the Narnia movies. I used masking tape as a stencil for the gold border. As you already know I crocheted the "chain-mail" hood & you can find the pattern I made right here. Later I crocheted tubes so he could have chain-mail on his arms also. After seeing this tutorial, I made craft foam armor for his arms, legs, and shoulders. I used silver spray paint but probably would use regular craft paint next time because the spray paint rubs off easily. He absolutely loves it, can you tell? :)

Incredible! I am pinning this and hoping a friend who crochets might whip this up for my knight obsessed 2.5 year old.

If you cover the foam with diluted white glue it wont rub off as easy

I love this. I have to make a King Arthur costume but I'm having trouble finding a suitable lion shape like yours for the tunic. Do you still have this picture or know the link. Thanks.

That is really cute! Crocheting the chain mail is such a fun idea.
