🪖 How to Make the Knight Armor (Non-Yarn Parts)

You’ll need lightweight, flexible materials such as:

  • Metallic cardstock, plastic folders, or craft foam painted silver

  • Silver thumbtacks, upholstery brads, or small silver stickers (for rivet details)

  • Hot glue, super glue, or glue dots

Helmet:

  1. Cut a rounded dome shape from plastic or foam, curved to fit head.

  2. Create a narrow face trim with a rectangular slit or separate cutout.

  3. Punch small holes and add “rivets” with silver brads or glue dots.

  4. Attach by lightly gluing to head, or make it removable with a snug fit.

Chest Plate:

  1. Cut a chest-sized armor plate with a central fold to fit torso contour.

  2. Add side flaps or shoulder guards with riveted edges.

  3. Glue onto body or leave detachable with small Velcro squares or tape.

Arm Guards & Skirt Plate:

  1. Create curved arm bands to match sleeve circumference.

  2. Skirt plates can be layered flaps cut from cardstock and glued in overlapping rows.

Tips:

  • Keep armor rounded and lightweight to avoid overbalancing the doll.

  • For extra strength, reinforce foam with clear plastic tape or glue a second layer.

  • Add felt backing if sharp edges are exposed.

🪡 Assembly

  • Sew all limbs securely before attaching armor.

  • Glue or tape armor carefully over crocheted surface—light touch is best.

  • Add optional hanging loop with keychain ring to the helmet top if for display.

💡 Customization Ideas

  • Create a shield and sword using felt and cardboard.

  • Add a banner or crest to the armor with embroidery or fabric paint.

  • Crochet a royal companion, like a king or dragon, for an epic display!

Whether guarding a bookshelf or inspiring brave bedtime stories, this noble knight is a unique blend of yarn and craft that brings medieval charm to life! 🏰✨
