You are purchasing a digital download PDF knitting pattern for a horned Viking helm (hat) with braids. The pattern is 37 pages and includes many photographs and diagrams to clarify the instructions and to illustrate the various options, a free bonus pattern and a photo tutorial.

Yarn Weight: worsted
Gauge: 20 stitches and 32 rows = 10 cm (4 in)
Needles: 4.0 mm (US 6), 3.5 mm (US 4)
Skill Level: intermediate with advanced options
Sizes: small (fits heads 53-56cm / 21-22in in circumference), medium (fits heads 56-59cm / 22-23in in circumference) and large (fits heads 59-61cm / 23-24in in circumference)
Yardage:
• 200 m (220 yards) for the hat.
• 50 m (55 yards) for the horns.
• 100 m (110 yards) for the braids.

Several options are provided for the brim (simple or fancy, straight or folded) and horns (simple or fancy, plain or textured base). There are also instructions for adding a variety of fun embellishments, such as a helm-spike or fur trim.

The pattern is written for intermediate knitters and assumes the knitter knows how to cast on and bind off, how to knit and purl, how to knit in-the-round and how to darn in ends. Detailed instructions are provided for all the other techniques used, so even relatively new knitters should be able to complete the simple version of the hat with little trouble.

The hat is knit from the top down, but no experience with top-down hats is required: the pattern includes a step-by-step photo tutorial explaining how to start the hat.

The pattern is given in both written format (i.e., as a full set of written instructions) and as charts, so the knitter can choose which format to work from.

FREE BONUS PATTERN: includes a charted pattern for a pair of dramatic ram’s horns (see 4th picture).

The final picture features a candid shot of my test-knitter (and long gun enthusiast), Julia Holland, who found that her Viking helm looks perfectly at home paired with her antique, muzzle-loading rifle. (So if you were thinking that a Viking helm would require a battle axe, think again!) Pictures 5-9 are by Hillary Dionne.

NOTE: this pattern is only offered in English.

The nylon cord I use is UV stable, but the colours will fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight.

To clean, hand-wash in warm water using plain dish- or hand-soap; if necessary, you can scrub the item with a small, soft-bristled brush (e.g., a toothbrush). Hang or lay flat to dry. Do NOT use chlorine bleach. Do NOT place in the dryer. Do NOT dryclean.

If your item arrives damaged, or is defective, please contact me immediately to get instructions for returning the item and to arrange a full refund (I pay the return shipping costs for all damaged/defective items). Your refund will be processed once I have received the damaged/defective item. IMPORTANT: retain all original packaging!

Note: if the damaged/defective item was originally shipped with one or more additional items, then I will refund a percentage of the original shipping cost (determined by the damaged/defective item’s cost relative to the original order total).

Items returned to me because an incorrect or undeliverable shipping address was provided will be refunded, minus original and return shipping costs, once I have received the item.

If an incorrect or undeliverable shipping address was provided and/or the item is delivered to an incorrect address because of the buyer's actions, and the item is subsequently lost and not returned to me, no refund will be given.

If the estimated time for your region has passed: it is exceedingly rare that a package is actually lost, so you should receive your item eventually. However, packages are occasionally miss-routed, or held up in customs, which can lead to substantial delays. Please contact me for more information and assistance.

In the unlikely event that your package fails to turn up and is officially declared lost, then the issue may be due to stolen mail. You will likely need to complete an affidavit affirming that the package is missing before I can process your refund.

When you check out you have the option to mark your order as a gift: if you choose this option, it simply means that the packing slip will not show any financial information (so the recipient will not see how much you paid). Marking as a gift does NOT mean your item(s) will be gift wrapped.

International buyers: please note that I CANNOT mark your order as a gift on the customs slip, so the customs slip will still show the price of your item(s).

Initially bought for fun for Vikings football games but the men in my life liked how the hat looks like a helmet and want it (without horns) for everyday use, so will be making a couple. I was not familiar with the technique used in the fancy horn option but was texted help until I figured it out. 😊
