Baby Thor Crochet Helmet

Baby Thor was Thor for Halloween, of course.  That meant he needed a helmet.  So I came up with this cute, little crochet hat and added some felt wings to the side.  I personally think he looks ridiculously adorable.  He however is less than thrilled when I put it on his tiny coconut.

Gotta love that face.

You will need a medium weight yarn and a size H/5.0mm hook.

Total stitch count for the round is in parenthesis

This is a newborn / infant sized hat.  To create a bigger sized hat repeat row 4 to increase your stitch count to your desired size, then continue with the pattern.

For the wings I took an 8.5 x 11 piece of felt, folded it in half, and traced my wing pattern using a fabric marker.  Then I stitched along the line, creating a double thick wing.  Once my wings were sewn, I cut around the stitching, about a 1/4 inch away from the thread.  Then I hand stitched them to the helmet.  TIP: To make sure they are even, place the bottom of the wings on the same row of crochet stitches.

If you make one I’d love to see it.  Share it via social media with the hashtag #ambersimmonsblog.
