Spidey eyes

For Christmas, I decided to make hats for all of my sister's children. The older boys are really into superheroes, specifically Batman and Spiderman. Batman was simple, a logo pattern found online sewed onto a black hat.... Spiderman would be a challenge though. I fretted for a few days over the best way to do the webbing before finally deciding to just stitch it on. 

Thinking the worst was over, I whipped up the hat only to realize I had forgotten something.... eyes! A Spiderman hat just wouldn't be the same without those big, white triangular things. I searched and searched, but could not find a free pattern anywhere... so I had to wing it. This is what I came up with.


Spidey eyes:

Ch 9
sc in 2nd ch from hook and remaining chains, ch 1 and turn (8)
sc in first 7 stitches, ch 1 and turn (7)
sk 1st stitch, sc in next 5, ch 1 and turn (5)
sc 4, ch 1 and turn (4)
sk 1st st, sc next 2, ch 1 and turn (2)
sc evenly around entire piece, placing 2 sc in the corners of the 1st row. sl st to join with 1st sc.

The piece you have now will look like a triangle with one corner on the long side sticking out further than the others.
Attach the black yarn to this corner and crochet evenly around the piece, starting with the long side. When you reach the last stitch,
hdc then dc in the same stitch before joining with a sl st to the first sc.
Fasten off, leaving a tail long enough to sew the piece on.

Here's what they look like sewn on:

That's it! This is my first time writing a pattern, so excuse any errors. Feel free to ask questions or make suggestions! I hope you enjoy it!

This pattern is my own creation. Feel free to use it as you wish, even selling items made with it. But do not claim it as your own. Please link back to this page.
