Free pattern: Crochet knight hood
As promised I am giving the instructions on how to crochet the knight hood / hat I posted about last week. (he was so proud of his dog picture and having him hold it was the only way he would pose for a photo :) he said "it looks just like a real dog!")
Yarn: Red heart worsted 4
Hook: USK 10.5 / 6.5mm
Here is a key for all the abbreviations I use.
dc = double crochet
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
rep = repeat
sk = skip
beg = beginning
rnd = round
Ch 4, join with a sl st to form a ring.
Rnd 1: ch 2 for first dc, 12 dc in ring, sl st to top of beg ch.
(13 stitches counting the ch 2.)
Rnd 2: ch 2 for first dc, 2 dc into every dc, sl st to top of beg ch.
Rnd 3: ch 2 for first dc, 3 dc into every other dc, sl st to top of beg ch.
Rnd 4: ch 2 for first dc, dc in 1 dc, *2 dc in 1 dc, dc in next 2 dc, rep from *, sl st to top of beg ch.
Rnd 5: ch 2 for first dc, dc in each dc, sl st to top of beg ch.
Repeat rnd 5 nine more times (or till edge of hat reaches eyebrows)
(Now you are going to make the face opening by only stitching the back and sides.)
Row A: ch 2 for first dc, dc in each dc for 35 stitches, (flip work around to start next row on top of the stitches you just finished).
Repeat row A five more times back and forth with 36 stitches each row counting the ch2.
At the end of the 5th row don't ch2 and flip work around. Ch 18 & sl st to top of beg ch to begin stitching in rounds again and create the collar.
Collar rnd 1: ch 2 for first dc, dc in each dc and all 18 ch st, sl st to top of beg ch.
Collar rnd 3: repeat collar rnd 1
Collar rnd 4: repeat collar rnd 1
Collar rnd 5: repeat collar rnd 1
Collar rnd 6: ch 2 for first dc, dc in 1 dc, *2 dc in 1 dc, dc in next 2 dc, rep from *, sl st to top of beg ch.
Repeat rnd 6 three more times, fasten off and thread extra yarn into the hat.
You're done!
Let me know if you have any questions. :) I'll be posting the full finished costumes soon!

I also then improvised a mini-version for a doll http://frederiqueandfriends.blogspot.de/2015/07/the-sc-more-n281-male.html
Thanks very much for sharing it !! I'll most probably make it again for presents. This is ideal for boys!
