I haven’t seen the new Wonder Woman movie yet, but I know it’s awesome and sure to inspire some girls and women to bring a little of that fierce power into their own lives.
Whether you’re putting together a handmade outfit for Comic-Con, a cosplay event, Halloween, a superhero party or simply a bit of fun dress-up, these Wonder Woman knitting patterns are a brilliant way to add some handmade superhero style to your wardrobe.
There’s something especially fun about taking those instantly recognizable red, blue and gold colors and turning them into something you can actually knit. You don’t have to make an entire costume, either. A Wonder Woman-inspired beanie, scarf, pair of boot toppers or knitted accessories can be enough to give an everyday outfit a playful comic-book twist.
For the more adventurous knitters, there are also sweaters and larger projects that can become the centerpiece of a full Wonder Woman cosplay costume. Pair a handmade sweater with a skirt, boots and a few coordinating accessories and you have an outfit that works beautifully for Comic-Con, fan conventions, costume parties and Halloween.
These Wonder Woman knitting patterns include everything from relatively quick accessories to statement knits, so you can choose a project depending on how much time you have before your next convention or dress-up event. They’re also fun gift ideas for comic-book fans who would much rather receive something handmade than another piece of mass-produced merchandise.
And, of course, you don’t actually need an excuse to wear superhero knitting. If knitting a bright red, blue and gold hat makes an ordinary winter day a little more fun, I think that’s reason enough.
The good news is there are a bunch of great Wonder Woman knitting patterns to choose from.
Clementine Knits and Crochets has a great Wonder Woman hat that’s worked as a pretty straightforward beanie, then you pick up stitches for the tiara that’s sewn down to the hat underneath it. And I love all those star buttons!
For another great hat, check out the Wonder Beanie from Christabel Seneque, aka Herbivore Knits. This one uses stranded colorwork for the stars and other details, but isn’t too difficult if you’re comfortable with chart reading.
HoleyHoo Designs has made boot toppers and double knit slippers inspired by Wonder Woman, and Jenny Wren made a fun set of Wonder Woman accessories.
And then there are the sweaters! Check out the amazing Wonder Woman from Natalie Bursztyn and the tutorial for Kristy Lothian’s Wonder Woman sweater (which isn’t really a pattern, but is still pretty darn awesome).
And make sure you don’t miss the Wonder Woman scarf from Konchan le Me. This one is double-layered, and you can knit them separately and sew them together or work it in double knitting.
