Perfect little hat for your winter warrior and so quick to make

 Reversible Viking Helmet – Tutorial and Pattern I know exactly what you are thinking – why doesn’t my child have a faux
Viking helmet? I’m sure it happens to all of us at some stage, so here is a
very simple reversible head warmer. It doesn’t have much in common with an
actual Viking helmet but is quirky enough that older kids may just wear it and
would look really cool on actual Vikings.
What you need
1. 12” or 30cm of fabric X 2 different fabrics (any width greater than 28”
or 70cm). I used funky monkey flannel for the tutorial to complete my
eldest son’s Viking Pyjamas ensemble.
2. Rotary cutter or sharp scissors
3. Pattern which you can get [here]
4. Matching thread and invisible thread to close the back (optional)
5. Wool or ready-made pom poms as an option
Step One - Print the pattern and cut your pieces

You will need to cut four pieces using the pattern piece provided. I used
two different fabrics. Fold the fabric, cutting two pieces at a time.
Step Two – Create the helmet pieces

Join the fabric panel for each fabric. With right sides together, stitch the
outside curve of the helmet. Repeat for the second fabric.
Step Three – Join the helmet pieces

Turn one of the helmet pieces right sides out and place it inside the
other helmet piece so right sides are together for both fabrics.

Now pin these two helmet pieces together around the outside edge.
Leave a gap 2” or 5cm wide at the back edge between the earflaps.
Stitch the helmet pieces together (leaving the gap).
Step Four - Clip your seams

Clip all of your inner and outer curves around the helmet to help the
seams stay flat and neat when turned out. Want a quick tip? Pinch the
seam and cut on the diagonal to create triangle bites from the seam.
Just make sure you scissors stay on the outside of the seam but
protecting your stitching with the other hand (both sides please)!
Step Five – Enclosing stitch

Pull helmet fabric through the gap so its right side out. Turn the gap
seam to the wrong side and stitch the gap closed with either a slipstitch
or using invisible/matching thread in your sewing machine.

If you want to stop at a reversible head warmer, then you are all done.
Step Six – Add Pom Pom Horns

Well you can add what you like, but horns made from pom poms?
