All the while, Loki had been tormenting them as a fly, stinging and landing on them which made their crafting process quite difficult. They created a golden-bristled boar called Gullinbursti, an armband made of gold called Draupnir, and finally, a hammer called Mjollnir.
He showed them the treasures he had just received and told them he doubted they could do any better and would even bet his head on it. He went to two other dwarf brothers, Brokk and Eitri. While Loki was leaving the dwarfs, he had another idea. Loki took the items and promised to let them know what the gods thought of their gifts. They decided to not waste it and instead crafted a ship called Skidbladnir and a spear called Gungnir. Once they had created Sif’s new hair, the forge was still hot. The dwarfs didn’t trust Loki but they figured it was worth a shot at getting some favor with the gods. They asked what they would get out of it and Loki promised they would earn favor amongst the gods. He went to the sons of Ivaldi and asked them to create Sif new hair. Off Loki went to see the dwarves and ask them to craft Sif new hair that would magically attach itself to her head. Loki said he would make things right and would go see the dwarves. She was in such a state when she realized what Loki had done. Sif was known for her beautiful golden hair. One day Loki decided to cut off Thor’s wife’s hair.
