Finish Off
The letter A
I am not thrilled with my letter A pattern, its not as clean as I would like. Although my A does work, I would like to share another pattern I found on the web, amamzing.
CH 15, HDC in 3rd CH from hook, HDC across the CH.
CH 15,HDC in 3rd CH from hook, HDC across the CH but do 3 HDC in the last CH. slip stitch into your very first CH.
Finish off. Right now you have a V. Turn your V upside down. Attach yarn into the inside of the upside down V, into the 7th HDC.
CH 5, Slip stitch into the 7th HDC on the opposite side. Slip stitch into the next stitch (6th stitch of the same side) HDC across the CH. Slip stitch into the 6th half double crochet (the stitch next to where you attached the yarn)
Wings (make two)
CH 13 , HDC in 3rd CH from hook, HDC across the CH (11 HDC)
Turn, CH 2, HDC back across next 10 HDC
Turn, Slip stitch into next 2 stitches, HDC in same stitch, HDC across
CH 2, HDC in next 5 stitches
Weave in ends and finish off.
With yarn needle, attach the A and the wings to the mask.

What an awesome pattern! Wish I had little boys in my life to make one for!
Thanks!
I would LOVE to make one of these in a smaller size for a friend’s child!
What were your finished dimensions and what is the gauge for the pattern?
Sorry Rachel, I do not have the measurements or what my gauge is. I am still learning the process and actually just recently figured out how to check my gauge when following a pattern.. I wish I could have answers for you. If it helps any, I don’t crochet tight or loose. I feel that I am in the happy medium.
thank you so much!
I think I’ve found a good way to measure even with the tightest, loosest, smallest, or largest hats! 
The only problem I was having was trying to figure out how much it measured from the bottom of the hat to the top of where the eyes started. My guess would have been about 2-3 inches possibly but not sure.
I made this hat for my son and he LOVED IT!!! thank you!!! you certainly made me a super mom!!!
Love!!! Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for this easy to follow pattern. I just made it as a Christmas surprise for my nephew and I know he will be thrilled!
Thanks for sharing this great pattern. I thought it was very well-written and easy to follow. It will make a great gift for a little guy who is crazy about Captain America.
This is an awesome pattern! I’m half way done with one (I have 3 more to make for a friend with 3 sons!) I just have to sew the pieces onto the hat! This is super easy! I love it! Now my husband wants one! Thank you soooo much!
I think the pattern is fine, I just made one with YOUR pattern for the A and I prefer it to the A from that other site
