Thar Be Vikings!

June 4, 2009 By Carole

This new grandson of Lois’ is getting more than just a Trellis sweater.  You see, Lois’ family, like mine, is of Nordic descent.  Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian – we’ve got it covered.  When the baby’s parents started joking around about naming him Leif (after Leif Erikson) I just knew I had to knit him this hat.

viking-hat

A Viking hat.  Now if ever there was a handknit that would benefit from having a cute model, this is it.  But alas, no babies of the right size presented themselves at the library yesterday.  You’ll just have to settle for grass shots.

viking-hat-metal-rivets

I used some leftover Ella Rae classic for the rivets.  Aren’t they cute?  And I used Knitpicks Swish for the hat itself.

viking-hat-horns

The horns were knit with leftover Knitpicks Bare from the Trellis sweater so this was an economical – and stash busting – hat.

I think it’s perfect to wear on a crusade to the new world.

Uff da!

    Do the horns have to be stuffed to remain upright? Earflaps in place of the braids? (I couldn’t quite tell from the photos.)

    That hat is splendid. Perhaps they can photograph him in it and call him Leif for just a day. 🙂

    I love this hat!! I knit one for The Boy, but in Hubs’ hockey team’s colors. He wouldn’t keep it on.

    The Trellis is gorgeous too. Sorry I didn’t comment yesterday. Busy knitting…:)

    It’s probably a good thing there weren’t any babies at the library. I can see it now. “Excuse me lady, can I put this Viking hat on your baby? And then take pictures for my blog?”

    Although it truly is a shame not to see it modeled.

    I knit a pair of those hats for some very cute twins in my life. I love it. (and my niece looked stunning in the opera diva hat I knit for her-down to the cutie pie braids sticking out!)

    I love yours!!
