So I was asked forever ago to post the pattern I used for the Dovahkiin helmet I made. Well being the silly person I am I had made the first one on the fly and didn’t write down what I did. I just spent way to long writing out a usable pattern and I just want to say, no I didn’t forget, I just went a little slow. I can show you guys soon what I’ve been working on that took me away for so long (cross stitch is very time consuming) and I hope this patten will make you guys at least a little happier with me.
I used Red Heart super saver yarn in grey and something called “impeccable” in cream. I used a size “F” (3.75mm) hook. You also need a pipe cleaner for in the horns to curve them
