# Middle Earth Face Warmers The Dwarven Beard Helmet Pays Tribute to the Hobbit By Michael Hines | Published 2012-12-19 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwarven-beard-helmet References: [technabob](http://technabob.com/blog/2012/12/18/lord-of-the-rings-crochet-beard-helmet/) & [saddayscrochet.deviantart](http://saddayscrochet.deviantart.com/art/Dwarven-Helm-343407676) You can't truly call yourself a fan of the [Lord of the Rings films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-rohirrim) until you knit a dwarven beard helmet. This original creation was made by deviantART member SadDaysCrochet. The helmet was designed to look like the helmet Gimli wore during the original trilogy, but the beard is an entirely original creation. The best part about the dwarven beard helmet is that the [facial hair can be detached](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/athena-helmet). Walking around with a burly dwarf beard is awesome and all, but it's bound to get itchy and sweaty after awhile. It doesn't seem as if SadDaysCrochet is planning on selling the dwarven beard helmet -- she made it as a gift for her brother -- but there's no doubt that it would be a huge hit if she did. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Geeky Crochet:** Incorporate pop culture references in crochet and other DIY projects. - **Playful Fashion:** Incorporate fun and whimsy into accessories and apparel, blurring the lines between costume and daily wear. - **Customizable Wearables:** Create wearable items that allow for personalization and modification to better suit individual styles and needs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Crafting Supplies:** Provide materials and resources that cater to DIY enthusiasts who want to incorporate pop culture references into their projects. - **Fashion Accessories:** Create playful and unique accessories that appeal to fashion-savvy consumers with a love for pop culture fandoms. - **Personalized Gifts:** Offer customizable products that allow customers to tailor items to the interests and preferences of their gift recipients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fantasy-Inspired LEGO Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lord-of-the-rings-lego-set.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Replica Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clone-trooper-phase-ii.md) - [AI-Generated Motorbike Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coldstar-art.md) - [Comic-Inspired LEGO Helmets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-lord-lego-helmet.md) - [Superhero-Themed Block Pen Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-lord-helmet.md) - [Hand-Knit Sci-Fi Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handknit-scifi-sculpture.md) - [Fantasy Series Building Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shire-set.md) - [Building Block Musician Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daft-punk-lego-helmets.md) - [Sinister Comic Series Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-goblin-helmet.md)
