Iron Man-Inspired Crocheted Gloves

Iron Man-Inspired Gloves

 

We all want to be part of The Avengers.  Let’s face it.  Maybe you’ve created your own superhero or maybe you really want to be Thor.  Or Captain America.  Or, well, Iron Man.  (Or, if you’re me, you want to be Joss Whedon!)

Check out the pattern below and comment with your favorite Avengers crafts.
