Masked Captain America Beanie

(found original pattern here, added patterns for every size)

(I always turn my beanies inside out after completing, to use that side as the right side, because I feel it always comes out looking better on that side) ***Note on my beanie patterns: I've realized that I had learned the DC stitch wrong, so my beanie pattern was done to the scale of my wrong stitch instead (which is really a long-DC stitch). So, you might want to do long-DC stitches, OR add a row or two to the bottom of the beanie (in this case: before the row with the Chain stitches that make the eyeholes). Also, my "Chain 2" NEVER counts as a DC in any of my patterns.*** Stitch Abbreviations: CH= Chain SC= Single Crochet DC= Double Crochet SL ST= Slip Stitch ST= Stitch(es) You will need size 4 Worsted weight yarn in Blue (I used I love This Yarn in Royal Blue). I usually use the size H hook on everything, but I also work my stitches pretty tightly. (Just remember that changes hook changes the size of your work)
