Pattern is free and posted below! Happy Crocheting! Sword can be stuffed different ways. You can stuff with cardboard before crocheting along sides, I stuffed with fluff since it's for a baby.</span><br />

Unfortunately I cannot give it out BUT I can tell you where I purchased it and let you know the adaptions I made. This fabulousness is called Elf with Braid and can be purchased through Ravelry <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/elf-hat-with-braid-n---8-years" target="_blank">here </a>or Etsy <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/50290980/pdf-pattern-elf-hat-with-long-braided" target="_blank">here</a>. Salena Baca is one of my all time favorite pattern writers and if I get a chance I'll adapt the patterns I purchase from her. The sizing are extremely awesome and offer similar sizing for the majority of my hats that I sell. The pattern is below. If you do not want to make this pattern you can contact me on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LooHoo-Creations-140516322657893/" target="_blank">here </a>to purchase one.<br />

Before you read the pattern please note that although I am not new to crocheting I am absolutely new to pattern writing. If you have any questions please let me know and I'll do the best I can to help out!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-3 hdc, sl st</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Ch1, 2 hdc in each st, sl st</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
-Ch 1, 2 hdc, hdc, 2 hdc, 1 hdc, 2 hdc, 2 hdc (Yes you read that right, you need your total to be 10)</div>
From here you pick up where the pattern starts for round 1 and work until the last row of hdc.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I skip the sc rows and instead add two rows of fphdc and bphdc and alternate around.</div>

My husband requested a Link hat with the ears. I was not a fan of any of the ears that I saw, so I had to make some of my own. After a few tries I think I hit the jackpot! Please go easy on me as I don't normally write patterns.<br />
