UPDATE 2/12/23: This post fell victim to strange formatting when I did my blog theme change and I have now fixed it. I also failed to link my own Etsy .   UPDATE: I ordered some fab custom yarn from Lady Purl  and I knit the hat white carrying white yarn throughout. I got pretty darn close. Probably a third shot at it and I could get it perfect. I should have used a finer weight for the white yarn, I think. See the updated images at the bottom. ~~~ Making this hat is easy, finding the right yarn is hard. I cannot find hideous variegated yarns that are correct for my life. The color sequence of the five purl sections from bottom up is: green, brown, red, blue, purple from what I can tell, followed by a knit crown repeating the colors, but the catch is that they're all variegated with white and some other mess, which is proving difficult to recreate with accuracy. Pictures of the hat I made are included after the pattern. I even tried some ombre yarn for shits and giggle...

UPDATE 2/12/23: Made some slight edits to make the pattern more readable! If you haven't made mittens or gloves with at thumb gusset before I don't recommend this pattern to you just yet. You're welcome to go for it, but it might get a little confusing. Jerry's mitts in the show are fingerless, but with individual finger holes. I'm not gonna lie, I absolutely hate making individual finger holes. I made these mitts in the good ol' bag lady style, which is less time and also doesn't make me irrationally angry. If you want to make fingers, please, feel free if you have the skillz and patience. I am an ill-tempered knitter. What You Need Size 2 DPNs (set of 4) - use larger needles for larger mitts, you may need to experiment a bit with needle size and gauge 2 stitch markers Stitch holder Fingering weight yarn in red, black, and blue Gauge: 7 sts/inch, 9 rows/inch My finished mitts measure about 3.25" at the wrist cuff and are about 5.5" in l...

UPDATE 2/12/23: I will tell you all a brief story about this. Ahem. I made this many years ago (2018) and I posted it on Facebook , which is my custom whenever I make a new thing. I may or may not have even shared it to my personal Facebook because sometimes I'm lazy. Somehow though, word that I'd made this, got back to my EvAnGeLiCaL grandmother. Needless to say, madness ensued. Who told her, I never found out. The WoollyRhinoCrafts' page is public, so, I mean, it could have been anyone. But the story does not end there!   My grandmother recently passed away and I have been tasked with going through her hoards. She wasn't a Hoarders-level hoarder, but she saved a lot of paper. She also did not organize anything so I've had to go through every single paper to make sure nothing is important (99.9% of it is literal garbage), but I came across a list. At the top of the list read "Michelle Facebook." And this list contained many, many things I had posted whi...

UPDATE 2/11/23: Added a little note about BLO, which for some reason I always forget all the time, but as a general rule, if you have known me for a while, you know I have a weird BLO preference. I just like the way it looks! IDK! Follow me on Facebook for updates and other stuff! Free stuff! And check out my Etsy to buy stuff! Check out my Ko-Fi for patterns! Molly wears a knit cat hat in episode 1 of Runaways, but let's forget that hat for right now. The superior hat from the first season is the crochet cat hat that she wears in a couple of the later episodes. If you're interested in the knit hat from episode 1 then stick around because I'm going to get to it, I promise! It just might take me a while on account of real life job. NB: Before you get started, I used a J hook and the hat stitches came out a bit looser than intended. I recommend dropping down to an H or I, but be careful not to get so tight that it interferes with the sizing. This pattern is fo...

UPDATE 2/11/23: This is going on the maybe to-do list to make slightly smaller versions! Smaller is more versatile! I know!   My lame, employed self managed to miss the Destiny 2 faction rally last week because having a job like an adult is exhausting. I've even been too tired to play video games - imagine that! This is the worst. It's cool being able to buy things, but not cool that I'm too tired to do anything with the things I buy. While I wander the galaxy without a faction, I made some colorwork charts for you, Internet. I've used the Future War Cult chart before (it's old and you need to ignore the two-toned background blue - that should totally be solid). I made Dead Orbit and New Monarchy mere moments ago, so the latter two might need some slight adjustments depending on your gauge and needs for your project.  All should work for colorwork crochet, duplicate stitch knitting, cross-stitch and whatever other crafts make use of grids. These are fre...

UPDATE 2/11/23: Can I make this smaller? Maybe?! I know it was used at least for a sweater by someone, which is awesome!   Look at me making relevant grids for once! This Wonderwoman chart is available in three sizes. Right-click and open in a new tab to access the larger images. Feel free to save the images too so you can zoom or resize. These should work for crochet, knitting, other needle-y crafts, and even perler beads if that's your jam. Use these for whatever you want, but please link back to this page and gimme some credit/internet lovin'. Like my Facebook page to stay up to date and be the first to know about new free charts and patterns, and swing by my Etsy store to buy stuff so I can afford to live and keep making free colorwork charts for the internet. If you're not craft-ly inclined, feel free to inquire about custom orders and I'll make stuff for you. XOXOX happy making! And without further ado...fyeah, Wonderwoman! Large 30x65 ...

UPDATE 2/20/23: Smaller version now available! It's squares so be mindful if using it for knitting/duplicate stitch. If you like my free goodies, consider supporting me on Ko-Fi ! I do subscriptions!   Also, guess who hasn't played a single second of Overwatch 2? Me. Maybe I'll get on that, but who knows. Life, y'all. Life.  UPDATE 2/11/23: I will make a smaller version of this! Maybe a few! Make sure you're following on Facebook to get updates! The link is down at the bottom somewhere...   I've been giving my poor little wrists and arms a break from yarnwork this week, and decided to get some charting done that I've had in the queue for a while.  Here's the Overwatch logo. It will work for knitting and crochet as well as embroidery, and it occurred to me that you can totally use most of my grids for perler beads too. Perler beads are apparently trendy now (I have a hard time keeping up with craft trends, you guys). Anywho, I haven't tested this...
