Captain America ~ Free Amigurumi Pattern

Hello fellow hookers!
Today I'm gonna be sharing a pattern that's very special to me! This was by far the most difficult pattern I have written... It took me over a year of writting, ripping up and redoing. I started making this last year after I watched Avengers Endgame. A friend of mine is a huge Captain America fan, and he wanted me to make one for him. I looked for patterns online, but most of them were very cartoonish. I was looking for something that looked closer to an action figure. So I decided to make my own. I kept trying out differnt methods, but I was never satisfied with how it was turning out. After so many months of trying I finally ended up with something that I am proud of!
