This pattern details how to create, step by step, your own female superhero, inspired by Marvel’s Captain Marvel.

The figure is able to stand up by itself and its head is pivotable due to having a crochet ball joint. The body is worked in one piece with a ball joint at the top which inserts into a ‘socket’ within the head - all by crochet with no need for plastic parts. This is worked through step by step with accompanying pictures.There is also the option to use wire or pipe cleaners through the arms to make her posable. So you can have a lot of fun creating superhero poses!

The figure is worked up in regular sports weight yarn, and any brand will do. Just pick those vivid comic book colours.

Measurements: The finished piece measures approx. 17 cm tall.
