The knight's helmet will add another hat to the variety that children love to wear when playing. It is not difficult to fold, but looks quite fancy when finished. If you wish a hat in two colors, use two different-colored squares, placed on top of each other, and treat them as a single square.

Fold a piece of square paper diagonally on the dotted line. For a child's hat, use paper approximately 22" square.

Place the paper in position as in Fig. 80. Fold on the dotted lines, bringing points A and B to point O.

Bring A and B to point X. Crease on dotted line. Point O stays in position.

Turn points A and B outward, folding on the dotted lines of Fig. 82 to make Fig. 83. Fold top sheet upward on dotted line.

Fold upper sheet upward again on dotted line. Turn hat (Fig. 84) over to other side. Fold points A and B toward center on dotted lines.

Fold upward on dotted line. When finished turn Fig. 86 over. Open hat at bottom. Completed Chinese knight's helmet.
