Christy Frampton - Hi! I’m finishing up a baby blanket for my granddaughter who’s coming in May! I’m going to put ribbon in it like this.. just wondering if there is anything special you need to do when washing a blanket with ribbon? Thanks.March 26, 2017 – 5:52 pmReplyCancel
- Susie - You can always remove the ribbon before washing but I think it’s totally fine to throw it in the wash with it on! Everything evens out in the dryer afterwards… but do remember to set the dryer to very low/delicate. Congratulations on the new addition to your family!!!! :)April 1, 2017 – 10:59 amReplyCancel

It’s his all-time favorite super hero and he really wanted a beanie with the Captain America shield on it. I was happy to get to working on it right away! I’m posting the crochet pattern here so that you can make one too!

Capitan America Beanie Crochet Pattern

Cotton Yarns in Navy Blue, White, and Red
Crochet Hook Size H
Tapestry Needle

Beanie

Round 17-18: Ch 1 (counts as first sc), 1 sc in each st until end of round. Sl st into first sc. Tie off and weave in ends (58 stitches in ending row.)

Captain America Shield

Start with the white yarn to make the Star:

Make a magic ring.

Round 1: 9 hdc into ring, sl st to first hdc. Pull ends tight to close the hole. You now have a perfectly round circle.

Round 2: *Ch 4. Sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next s, hdc in next st. You have formed the first point in the star. Sk 1 space in the original circle and sl st to next st.* Repeat * until you have 5 points in your star. Sl st to beginning and tie off ends.

Now continue on to crochet the shield around the star.

Using navy blue yarn, sl st into the BACK LOOP of the bottom of the first point. Work in back loops only from now on.

Round 1: Start at the bottom of the first star point. Ch 3, dc in next st, hdc in next, sc in next. You have reached the top of the first point. Working your way down the first point, sc, hdc, dc, tr. *Now working UP the next point: Tr, dc, hdc, sc. And work down: sc, hdc, dc, tr* Repeat * until you have worked around all 5 points. Sl st to beginning.

Round 2: Change to red yarn, ch 1. 1 sc in the next 4 sts, 2 sc in next. *1 sc in next 5 sts, 2 sc in next* Repeat * all around. Sl st to beginning.

Round 3: Change to white yarn, ch 1. 1 sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next. *1 sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next* Repeat * all around. Sl st to beginning.

Round 4: Change back to red yarn, ch 1. 1 sc all around and sl st to beginning to finish.

Now, sew the shield onto the beanie! Use a tapestry needle and whip stitch your way all around the edge of the shield. Tie off in the back and weave in ends to hide. You’re done!

Easy, right? Let me know if you have any questions. I am always happy to help a fellow crafter!

  It doesn’t take very much yarn to make. I think I did not even use a whole skein of blue for this hat. :)October 22, 2018 – 1:24 pmReplyCancel
Debby - Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for this pattern! I only made the shield and put it on a barrette. I wore it at work for an event where we had Captain America there. It was a big hit, everyone loved it!March 26, 2017 – 1:49 pmReplyCancel

stacey - Hi Susie! Love this hat and am planning on making it for my friend’s son. I have one quick question….Can you use another type of yarn or do you need to strictly use cotton? If yes, what kind of yarn would you suggest? Thanks so much.January 17, 2017 – 3:49 pmReplyCancel
- Susie - Hi Stacey, I only use cotton yarns for my son because it holds up really well in the washing machine and dryer too. Acrylic yarns are beautiful but I’ve found that they tend to pill after washing often and they lose their shape and luster. I also find that there are too many special instructions on washing wool yarns. If your friend’s little boy is as sweaty as mine, or likes to roll in the dirt, like mine, this hat is going to be washed A LOT! Cotton would be the way to go if you want it to last! Hope this helps! -Susie ;-)January 17, 2017 – 8:12 pmReplyCancel

TJ Olsson - I want to start making beanies for child cancer patients here. Any chance you would have a conversion chart for younger kids head circumferences.
Thanks.January 12, 2017 – 6:07 amReplyCancel
- Susie - Hi TJ, I really admire what you’re doing for the kids! I have another post here on how to make a basic beanie and it has measurements for head circumference. You can follow that basic beanie pattern (ignoring the stripes) and then add the Captain America shield to it. Here’s the link: http://www.loganberryhandmade.com/crochet-basic-beanie-pattern-additional-sizes/

Ronke - Hi. Wanted to do a new hat for my 5 year old son to start the new term. I opened hats for kids for him on Pinterest to choose one and out of the hundreds of hats, he chose yours. I was a bit terrified initially but after reading your pattern, I realized making it was so stress free and easy. Thank you so much for clear instructions and a hat that rocks!January 5, 2017 – 3:09 amReplyCancel

Penni Kinkade - Hi there,
Thank you for this pattern! I’m making hats for a non-profit for kids with cancer. I noticed on rows 7-16 you continue to increase yet you say each row only has 58 stitches. This appears to be a typo.
Thanks again!December 29, 2016 – 10:24 pmReplyCancel
- Susie - Hi Penni, you’re right! It was my typo and I’ve corrected it! Also, I admire what you’re doing for the kids. You’re inspiring me to give more in my local community as well. Thanks again for writing! -Susie 😊✨December 30, 2016 – 3:55 pmReplyCancel

Harold Crowell - Hi Susie
This pattern is exactly what I am looking for as my first baby blanket project. My granddaughter is expecting her 2nd sometime in Janurary and she asked if I could crochet her a baby blanket. Having crochet several tablecloths over the past 4 years (maybe more) i told her it would “give it a go”. The pattern is much less complicated than some of the tablecloths that I have made both in the round and fillet style. Looking forward to beginning this one. Will let you know how I make out.

Thank you!July 14, 2019 – 8:50 amReplyCancel

Cute Little Fabric Wrapped Wooden Spools

wooden-crafts-fabric-spools

I was in the mood to make something tiny and cute today. I walked passed the woodcrafts section at my Hobby Lobby and found these cute little naked wooden spools. I couldn’t wait to take them home to dress them!

wooden-fabric-spools-diy-crafts-2

I used fabric scraps left over from my previous quilts I’ve made, wrapped them all up, and made them all pretty!

wooden-fabric-spools-tutorial-3

This cute little strawberry print.

If I remember correctly, this fabric piece is from the Miss Kate collection from a couple years back.

wooden-fabric-spools-diy-crafts

This fabric piece was from my Modern Stars Quilt.

wooden-fabric-spools-tutorial

You can make them too! Here are the materials needed.

Materials:

1″ Wooden Spools
Mod Podge for fabric
Fabric scraps: 3″ x 0.8125″ strips

Paste the Mod Podge to the back of the fabric strips and wrap around each wooden spool. So satisfyingly easy, right? :)

And…. here’s a picture of my cat photo-bombing my work area. Can’t ever stay mad at him.

Thanks for stopping in today!

Happy Crafting!
