Sword And Shield
"En Garde! This crochet sword and shield makes a great toy for little kids. They are soft and quick to work up. Add the sword and shield to a Halloween costume or keep reading to see how it fends off bad dreams in my home. Lately, I have been in love with simple patterns. This pattern is as simple as I could make it. You will be working a series of repeated rows to create your sword and shield. You just need to know how to single crochet, chain and increase with single crochet."
