DIY Life

Want to make the kids (or kids at heart) on your holiday gift they'll like as much as you like making it for them? Check out these cartoon-themed knitting (and one crochet) patterns, inspired by favorite characters:

Spongebob Sqaurepants Hat, from Kody May Knits.

Bloo Mittens, from craftster.

Wonder Woman Sweater, also from craftster (oh those craftsters!)

Transformers Hat again, craftster strikes again.

Crocheted Spiderman Afghan, from Gail at Stitch n' Frog


Want to add a cartoon character to a basic knitted sweater, afghan, or pillow pattern? Check out these knitting charts for Bob the Builder, Blues Clues, Dora the Explorer, the Powerpuff Girls, Dexter, Pokemon, Scooby Doo, South Park, Spongebob, the Simpsons, a slew Disney characters and a bunch more, some of which I don't even recognize.

FYI: These are all copyrighted characters, so using the images for gifts probably won't get you in any trouble; using them in items you plan to sell at the local craft fair? That's a whole other story.
