Epic Viking Beard

In order to make this Epic Viking Beard, you first need to make the hat that goes with it. The pattern calls for single and double crochet stitches. There’s no actual crocheting for the beard part. Strands of yarn are attached directly to the hat and nose piece, then they are fluffed out. Some sections of hair are braided and secured with leather ties.

Santa’s Beard

No Santa costume would be complete without his iconic white beard. Loop stitches are the secret to the voluminous texture of this beard design.

Dwarven Beard

I know this is a Dwarven beard but it looks a bit like a Pirates of the Caribbean beard to me! A simple cinch is created by weaving a long piece of yarn in and out of the top row and securing with an adjustable knot. This really helps the beard sit nice and close to your face. The pattern calls for just single crochet stitches.

Bearded Hat

This hat pattern actually references the bobble beard from #1 on this list. The hat is made using single and double crochet stitches. The spaces between the double crochet stitches are just wide enough to allow a button to pass through. I like this design because it gives you a way to easily remove the beard and just wear the hat by itself.
