Creating Your Own Pattern?

I’m looking for a very specific pattern, and I can’t seem to find anything remotely similar, so I’m pretty sure I’m going to just end up making it myself

The only time I’ve ever done anything like this is making my own argyle, so I’m a newbie

Any sites with good how-to’s or just general advice?

We need to know what you want to make to help you. :wink:

I want to make a beanie
(captain america)

I’m trying to make one with a big A on the front, and maybe wings on the side… or might just make the sings separately and then put them on

Okay. I don’t know if hat and beanie are interchangeable terms, but here is a basic create your own hat pattern. You’ll have to figure out the detailed wing stuff.
