SHELL ARMOUR PATTERN
Please note this is not a physical product. By purchasing this pattern, you will receive a digital download for a PDF file lasting 24 hours.
This pattern is suitable for advanced beginners and intermediate crocheters. I have tried to explain the steps as clearly as possible and complement them with photos to make the process easier to follow.
This pattern includes 2 sizes: ‘size 1’ is best fit for head circumferences of around 54-57cm, and ‘size 2' is best fit for head circumferences of 58-61cm.
There are four different lengths you can choose from. First one is the bonnet, which ends at around chin length, the second one is a short balaclava, which covers the length of your neck, a longer balaclava, and lastly a full coif.
YARN TESTED
- Lana Grossa Brillino (held double) with 4.5mm or 5mm hook.
You will need two skeins to make the bonnet, 4 skeins to make either balaclava and 6 skeins for the coif.
- Anchor Artiste Metallic (one strand) with 4mm hook.
You will need one skein to make the bonnet or the short balaclava, 2 skeins to make the longer balaclava and 4 for the coif.
- Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk (one strand) with 4mm hook.
You will need one skein to make the bonnet or the short balaclava, 2 skeins to make the longer balaclava and 4 for the coif.
