For those of you who have budding knights I am posting directions for this fun costume (and castle). If you look in My Photos under Knights you will find the directions I downloaded from a wonderful book that was printed in 1979 called " The Kids' and Grown-Ups' Toy-Making Book" by J.Alan Williams. This is a real treasure for any boy who enjoys cars/planes/pirates/knights and loves to use their imagination. It can still be found as used copy (I checked) for about $6.00 incl. shipping, and it is money well spent! One word of caution. If you decide to try this costume please be aware that you do need to cut this exactly as written. For those of you who sew you might understand this better but the "seam" down the front, although you will doubt it completely (my grandson and I went round and round until I finally had to pull the "trust in the force Luke" card!), needs to curve like that so it shapes the chest and will curve more easily as you add the "rivets". I hope you enjoy!
