Knits for the Wonder Woman in Your Life

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.

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.

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.
