Pig-tailed Knight Hat

This is a knight hat that my daughter designed. She designed it to be like a hood in the winter with 2 pig-tails on the sides for fun. It has a scarf-like neck that keeps your neck warm. She hopes it's fun and a good hat to use.

Crochet 50 stitches with colored yarn of your choice. After the first row, double stitch from then on for 7 rows and then end.

Go in 15 stitches and start a new row while still double stitching.

Stitch until your 25th row and then end.

Make a row of yarn connected to the hat. Make it 60 stitches and 7 more rows around, end, then attach it to the other side. Now take a yarn needle and stitch the inside angle to the top corner, all the way untill you have no flappy parts. Take the bottom of the opening and a 2 foot long sting of yarn and with 6 inches hanging off. Stitch it around the whole opening, so that the string is still hanging and you can tie it in a bow

If you want pig-tails then stitch a row of 15 stitches with extra sting hanging off the ends then do a second row with or without double stitching. I chose to finger-knit the "ribbons" or you could crochet them.

Do as many ribbons as you want; I did 15 and then hooked them on to the corners that stick out at the top. Then repeat on the other side.

This is what it looks like when you're done. Have fun!
