Deadpool Pillow – This one will likely be appreciated more by teens since the Deadpool movie is definitely not for kids. In any case Andrea has created an awesome free knitting pattern for this Deadpool Pillow that not only looks great, but would be fun to cuddle up with while watching the movie!
Spiderman “Web Spinner” Jacket – Well, can I just say that Fully Wooly has really knocked this one out of the park! I can think of several little boys who would flip over having a spiderman coat as cool as this one.
Minecraft Creeper Hats – Does your child love Minecraft as much as mine? Then check out these Minecraft Creeper inspired hats. They can be made in any colour, but of course green and black would be the “traditional” colour choice for these fun hats.
