Hey everyone welcome to Lost Wax. So glad to see you.
Um I'm pretty excited because I've just added some child armor sizes to my
adult armor knight pattern system. I've got two new sizes - I've got a...
...that size - Isabelle size - sort of four to five to six-year-old size,
and then I also have a nine, eight, seven-year-old size ish size.
I know this fits a nine-year-old because my son was nine when I made it for him.
This isn't the one I made for him, this is better than the one I made for him
but that's where it all started, so yeah.
So I've got two new kid sizes to supplement the adult size for the pattern
so if you've got kids who want to be knights now it's finally possible.
Just stick around and I'll show you how to make the child sizes. It's not very different
from making the adult one. But first let's just see how this actually works in real life.
Can your child actually walk around in it? Can they scooter in it?
Can they go down a slide? Can they sit on a chair?
>Dance? >>Can they dance in it?
Color? Can you color?
Do hopscotch? >(laughing) yeah
Anyways let's take it outside and see how this knight armor performs in the real world.
Go!
Either I started before you or I just got up some speed there
yeah you must have just got up some speed
maybe I like kind of tripped a little bit or something
maybe
All right, so if you
want to make the kid's armor you're going to need to grab the armor pattern
and then follow along on the video of how to make the adult version.
The links to both of those will be in this video's description.
There are a few small differences from the adult tutorial and I'm gonna show you them now.
Starting on the breastplate, you only need one strip of fuzzy velcro instead of two on the front shoulders
and a one-inch wide strip of velcro instead of two inches wide on the sides.
On the back plate you only need two strips of velcro on the sides instead of three.
All the edge strips have been reduced from seven millimeters to five millimeters.
I know that's only two millimeters but it does make a difference.
I used three-quarter-inch webbing on the tassets instead of one inch
and used one-centimeter wide strips instead of one and a half
on the pauldron straps.
Thinner strips of velcro and different measurements as well
on the pauldron attachment pieces
and I used two-centimeter wide elastic on the legs instead of two and a half.
All the different measurements are in the pattern but I just wanted to make you a bit aware of which places things changed.
We also decided we needed something not quite so scary as a flying unilion
on the breastplate so I learned how to draw a narwhal from
www.letsgodoodling.blogspot. Of course I had to make a little upgrade.
And that's it! You've got a little set of knight armor.
I find the easiest way to put it on is to put the legs on first
then un-velcro one shoulder inside and slide it on
slide on the arms
velcro them at the top
and then velcro the pauldrons over the arms
So that's it. Kid's pattern has been added to the adult pattern.
Make sure to grab one if you like making knights.
Thanks for watching. See ya. See ya.
High five Boom! Boom.
How comfortable is it? Um I dunno maybe medium.
Medium? Like on a scale of one to ten what would you say?
Maybe six. Six comfortableness.
Would you buy the pattern if you could?
Um yeah. Yeah, Isabel would buy it
