Sword Crochet Pattern

I wasn't too impressed with any of the Ravelry patterns for swords so I made my own.  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.

Link Hat

My Link hat was a hit and many people keep asking for the pattern.  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 here or Etsy here.  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 here to purchase one.

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!

Adaptions (Size shown is 3-6 months)

I used an I hook

At the beginning of the pattern I wanted a pointier tip.

Magic Ring

-3 hdc, sl st

-Ch1, 2 hdc in each st, sl st

-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)

From here you pick up where the pattern starts for round 1 and work until the last row of hdc.

I skip the sc rows and instead add two rows of fphdc and bphdc and alternate around.

Add two Xs to each side and viola!  Link Hat!  If you want the ears that pattern is free...I wrote it ;)  It can be found here.

Elf Ears

I was browsing Ravelry, quite possibly a favorite past time, for some new patterns.  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.
