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!
* The doll is worked wrong side out, in Blo unless mentioned otherwise.
* All decreases are invisible decreases.
* Stuff as you go wherever possible
* The pattern is written in nummbers. Ex: *2V, 10* means - increase in the next 2 stitches, 1 sc in the next 10 stitches
* Use a contrasting piece of thread for a row marker.
* please count your stitches after each round
