Blonde Beard

So, the Viking Hat is almost complete and I've decided to begin working on the beard to go with it. I'm using a crochet pattern because... Well, because it seems like there are only crochet Viking beard patterns out there. It's not a big deal. I can crochet, after all. And, overall, I like this pattern the best.

Using some Caron Simply Soft in Autumn Maize for the beard, since it will be on the face (although, since R already has his own beard, it probably won't bother him anyway). Nice Nordic blonde.

I really like the way this is working up (even though I'm only on row 2), but after all those strands of yarn I braided for the Leia Hat, I'm not really looking forward to working with this for the beard.

Sigh. The things I do...
