Marvel Universe Crochet Kit - Captain America
I am working my way through this lovely little crochet kit, Marvel Universe Crochet by Kati Galusz. It contains patterns for 12 characters plus the materials you need to make Spiderman and Captain America.
One thing I will say about my little guys is that unfortunately my embroidery skill level is zero so some of the details look a little off.. :( but otherwise I really like how they are turning out. They are a lot smaller than I expected them to be, possibly a nice size for a key chain.
I started off using the free hook but I ended up buying a new one in the same size which really made it easier for me as when I’m crocheting tiny things I sometimes get a bit frustrated so a smooth hook took the edge off!
The crocheting was reasonably quick it was just the detailing that slowed me down since I can't seem to embroider at all and cutting felt so small is harder than it looks.
It's definitely a cute little collection.
Second in the book is Captain America. This one is possibly going to be one of my favorites. He has quite a lot of detail to him. It took a few attempts for me to do his belt, and I still didn't do it quite right, but the effect looks really good. What I like about this book so far is that it is teaching me a few new techniques and stitches.
