Welcome to my blog, where I continue with the elaboration of the collection of superheroes knitted to crochet, in this opportunity I present you the second superhero knitted: "Iron Man".
Here is the link to the two previous publications, the development and planning of the idea of weaving superheroes and princesses, and the step by step of the first woven superhero:
He is a fictitious superhero of the Marvel Comics, his name is Tony Stark who is a rich tycoon, intelligent and handsome but with a deadly wound in his heart; his power is based on his armor that he wears to survive and also gives him a superhuman strength, shoots repulsive rays and allows him to fly among many other things.
Tony Stark is the son of Howard Stark owner of Stark Industries and his wife Maria Stark. Tony is a child genius who, at 21, inherits the company of his parents due to an automobile accident. On a trip to Vietnam to supervise a weapon sold to the U.S. government, he suffers an accident while stepping on a mine, the explosion caused a piece of shrapnel to lodge in his chest. Then wounded, he was captured by Wong Chu to force him to build weapons of mass destruction. In captivity Tony befriended another prisoner, Ho Yinsen, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, who built a magnetic pectoral plate to prevent shrapnel from reaching Stark's heart and causing his death.
Secretly, Stark and Yinsen use the workshop to design and build a power armor, which Stark uses to escape. However, during the escape, Yinsen sacrifices his life to save Stark. Because of this trance, Stark became aware of the perverse use his technology was receiving. And so Tony became a hero, using the armor to survive and at the same time to fight evil in various ways. That's how Iron Man was born and his iconic villain is The Mandarin, a Chinese monk and scientist, with powers coming from the ten rings of power he recovered from a spaceship and from his knowledge of martial arts.
Elaboration of the Iron Man Woven to Crochet
Materials
Crochet thread (red, yellow, white and black)
Needle (1.45mm or 3)
Scissors
Crochet sewing needle
Wadding
Elaboration of Iron Man step by step
assembly of the woven parts
details of the face
Elaboration Time
Already with the crochet threads available and using Captain America's pattern as a guide so that all superheroes are of the same size and proportion, Iron Man's processing time was shorter than Captain America's, it took a full day to digitize the patterns and 2 days to complete the superhero's crochet knitting. The patterns were digitized: the template in Word and the boots, leg, body and arms in Excel, and the head in the mathematical program Geogebra.
Reason for Elaboration
As I mentioned in the first publication, there are 3 reasons for the production:
Publish the step by step in steemit.
Perform superheroes to give away to my 6 year old son.
Make superheroes for sale.
How did I feel while working on this project?
Too excited to see my second superhero finished and to see the two together even happier and my son super happy and happy too, I'm so excited about this project, I want to see soon and all the woven superheroes, each superhero is beautiful, but all together spectacular is amazing, I feel happy and grateful that my mother taught me there this great art as it is crochet weaving.
