Crochet Chess Pieces

From Left to Right: Pawn, Queen, King, Bishop, Knight, Castle/Rook.

After seeing a crochet chess set online, I thought it would be a lot of fun to make one myself.  So, I went searching for some free patterns.  I couldn't find any that I like.  So I resolved myself to make up my own.

Using this photo as a guide and as inspiration, I present to you what I came up with.  

It took a little more than week to crochet these chess pieces.  Each piece is worked continually from bottom to top. The exceptions are the King, the Knight and the Castle/Rook. 

The pawns have pennies for bases, while the rest of the pieces have nickels for bases.

Below are different views of the Knight...
