CAPTAIN AMERICA

This is rendering of the famed Captain America character from Marvel Comics’ Captain America and Avengers comics and movies staring Chris Evans.  I made this doll as a request of my wife.  She is huge Marvel Universal fan.  This is not an easy pattern to create and possibly follow.  If anyone trying to use this pattern and are having problems, let me know and I will try to help.  I will give you a heads up that the pouches that are on his belt and leg are the hardest pieces to make.
