Crochet Sword and Shield to Fight Bad Dreams

It is no secret that my kids often inspire my patterns. This pattern is no different.

For several nights my 6 year old son has been crawling into my bed saying, “I am scared. I had a bad dream.” Now I love snuggling with my kids, but I am a very light sleeper. So a night with him means no sleep for me.

In the morning I asked him, “What do you need to feel safe in your room?”

“A sword and shield to fight off the dragons and dinosaurs.” He answered. Well, that was that. I needed to design a crochet sword and shield pattern to keep my son safe from his dreams.
