How to Crochet: a Shield

So if you didn’t know I’ve been making these little miniature guys and doing videos of me making them, well someone requested that I do Link from The Legend of Zelda, which of course, I love. So I did, and for it I had to make a Hyrule shield. I figured why not give the pattern for that shield out, so here it is, with a video and everything:

Materials:
-Lion Brand Cotton-Ease Yarn
-Crochet Hook-Size G 4.50mm
-Needle to sew in ends with
Abbreviations:
-Sc : Single Crochet   
-Inc: Increase (sc 2 in st)
-St : Stitch or stitches

Ch 2 or use adjustable ring (Don’t Turn)
Rnd 1: sc 6 in 2nd ch from the hook (6)
Rnd 2: sc 2 in each st (12)
Rnd 3: m.p (ch 2, sl.st in first ch), sc in next st, sc, m.p, and inc in next st, sc in next st, m.p, sc in next 4 sts, sc, m.p, and inc in next st, sc in next 3 sts, sl.st, cut and pull through. 

Sew around m.p made at the beginning. Sew ends in.
For Hyrule Shield: Sew on a triangle in yellow, the bird like symbol in red, and two grey lines to the right and left of the triangle in silver.
