Captain American themed free graph

Captain America is an enhanced Steve Rogers who was injected with a serum by the government to help with the war effort (WWII).  He was frozen in ice and suspended until the present day when he was thawed out and served the government again.  He stands for morals, patriotism, and truth, justice, and the American Way.

This graph was made to use 2 dc with an H hook to get a twin sized afghan.  If you'd like it to be smaller, 1 sc per graph square with a J hook will yield a 4 x 5 ft throw  if you increase the number of rows by 5 on each side and 15 on top and bottom.  I'd recommend working this one from the long side due to the lettering.  If you work it from the short side, a lot of the color changes will happen at the top and bottom and really slow things down.  See my post on intarsia crochet to get an idea how to do your color changes.

If you'd like the pdf of this graph, please email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with "Captain America" in the subject line.  If you have any questions, please include them in the body of your email.

*tip: a border in red, white, and blue would really tie it together!

For Sale

 I have a collection of items in my possession that I've crocheted in order to write a pattern, give as gifts, or just to see if I could do it.  This is a small sample of items I have at home that I've decided to sell.  If you're interested in any of them please email me for pricing.  The items shown are a stuffed green frog, stuffed neon orange elephant, stuffed green hippo, stuffed raccoon with ice cream cone, fox-themed hood with ears, and blue shawlette.  The stuffed animals are approximately ten inches high, but I can measure if you'd like a precise measurement.  These are all one of a kind items, but I can make similar ones if you'd refer a different color or size.

Hello Kitty

Hello Kitty was created in 1974 by the Japanese Company Sanrio, and brought to the U.S. in 1976. She was purposely created without a mouth so that consumers could project their own feelings onto her and be happy, sad, angry, or whatever together with her. Also, she speaks from her heart, not with her mouth.

To get the pdf of this graph to create your own afghan, please email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with "Hello Kitty" in the subject line.  Any questions should be in the body of the email.  At this time I have not completed the afghan myself so have no yarn amounts to share with you, but if you complete it and would like to send the information to me along with a photo to be shared here and/or on my Facebook page, I'd appreciate it! 

The graph is 120 x 100 squares.  I'd use an H hook and 2 dc per graph square to get a twin sized afghan.
