Or to crochet EASY Beanies:

It’s an amazing result and we already tried it - it really works! My favorite part is the mask that flips up and down. I absolutely love the pattern.

This Knight Helmet is made of 3 parts – one is for the hat and one is for the face mask and the top part on the hat. They are connected together.

Size: kids size (4-6 years), this can easily be adapted to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the size of the hat and number of chains and rows for the mask and as well as making less or more chains for the top.

For this kids size you will need:

2 skeins of Red Heart Lisa yarn and some other colors – I used yellow and green (about 1/5 skein).
Red Heart Lisa – 100% acrylic, 50g/1.8oz, 133m/145,45yds
For this pattern you will need 3.5 mm crochet hook

2 buttons = I would recommend silver buttons 

Color A = grey
Color B = green
Color C = yellow

Difficulty Level: Level 1 – Easy, for beginners

US crochet term:

SlSt – slip stitch
CH/s – chain/s
SC – single crochet
HDC - half double crochet
DC - double crochet
DEC2HDC - half double crochet 2 together decrease
SK - skip
T - turn
ST/s - stitch(es)
REP - repeat
YO – yarn over

Special technics:

Half Double Crochet (hdc) Increase
To work an increase in hdc at the beginning of a row, work a hdc in the first stitch, rather than the second stitch. This will add a stitch to the row since you normally go into the second stitch.
To work a hdc increase at the end of the row, place two stitches into the turning chain.

The Half Double Crochet Two Together Decrease (hdc2tog)
The half double crochet two together decrease (hdc2tog) is a basic decrease stitch that helps shape your project by removing stitches from your pattern.
When you decrease in crochet, you essentially make two stitches next to each other that are linked together at the top. In half double crochet, this means that you link together 2 side-by-side half double crochet stitches. This is also known as "half double crochet two together" and is abbreviated in crochet patterns as hdc2tog.

Pattern Notes

1) This pattern is for kids size (4-6 years) can easily be adapted to a smaller size or bigger size just by reducing or increasing the size of the hat and number of chains and rows for the mask and as well as making less or more chains for the top. Remember that when making your helmet for man size, you will need more yarn.

Looking for another version of Crochet Knight Helmet? This is Helmet for older boys, 10-11 years old - the pattern is available for free:

2) A Ch 3 at beg of the row counts as dc throughout, a ch 2 at the beg row counts as hdc throughout, and a ch 1 at beg of row counts as sc throughout

3) Finish each round with slip stitch in the 2nd ch from beg

There are 3 parts of this project:

Cut the yarn. Fasten off.

Mask's grid lines
Change yarn colour: color B  
I chose the grass green yarn.
1st line: Fold the mask in half, find the middle row. 
Work slip stitches from the 2nd hdc in the middle row, work 12 slip stitches in that row. Cut the yarn. Fasten off.

2nd and 3rd lines: Skip 3 rows to left and to right from the middle line. Work 11 slip stitches on the left and then on the right side from the middle. (start slip stitching from about 2nd hdc)

ARCH ON THE TOP 

Color B: Grass green yarn. Fold the helmet in half, put the forehead on the left side. 
count 9 rounds from the top of the helmet to the forehead. Make a slip knot on the 10th round, work slip stitches from this 10th round up to the top and continue slip stitching down from the top down till you reach round 12 approximately.
Turn your work and work 1hdc in each slip stitch (from bottom up to the top and continue from the top to the forehead).  

Tassels

Cut strands - you can use 2 colours: color A and B or add more more color and use 3 colors: A + B + C together. I used grey, green and yellow strands.

Gather 6 or 8 strands of yarn about 5 inches in length and using your hook pull a loop through the first stitch on top of the arch. Then pull the ends of the strands through the loop and pull tight. Trim to desired length – do the same at each second stitch on the top. 

I made 12 tassels.

This helmet is fantastic and looks just like the real thing. You will love the results. It makes a great handmade gift idea too - Christmas time is coming :)
