Lettering in knitting
« on: August 24, 2020, 12:02:32 PM »
I’ve been asked to knit a Wonderwoman hat for DGD, no problem. I just had a little look on Pinterest to see what was required and then adapted a basic beanie hat pattern.

I’m conscious I’ve done a lot of things for GD recently but not a lot for her older brothers so I asked them what hats they wanted.

The younger one asked for a Batman hat so that’s easy peasy.

The very grownup 8 year old said he thought he was too old for a Superhero hat but could he have a Fortnite one please.

Now I know he won’t want anything Grandma can make for much longer so I’m happy to oblige.

I’ve looked at the merchandise and I can make the hat easily but I can’t replicate the font, which I have a feeling is very important.

Does anyone know a resource  which will turn an image into a knitting chart?

Incidentally he might be too old for a Superhero hat but his 41 year old father is really hoping I’ll knit him one

Could you knit a plain hat and applique it on or embroider it over the knitting?
Life's too short for ironing.
