I knitted a coif in silk and cotton so I could go swordfighting in comfort!

I’ve gotten in way over my head and started another hobby involving stabbing with metal things - in this case with blunt swords in Historical European Martial Arts. The sport involves a fencing mask and back of head (unlike modern fencing) and I’ve gotten my hair messed up inside one of those. I knitted this little coif in pink so it’s going to match my other sparring gear!

Original pattern is 21st Century Austen Heroine by Kate Fustich
